Definitely an  interesting day, I met the man who saved my life this summer.  David came with me.  He was really an interesting guy, caught my Star Trek references immediately and agreed with them.  he felt my experience in failed kidney land was kind of a miracle and he was impressed by my bodies unwillingness to give in to dialysis.  Said they were waiting to use it as an emergency strategy, but I didn't need it, my body fought for itself.  It was very interesting to hear his perspective.  I did agree to participate in a research project that is looking at how stones form.  Mine formed unusually fast.  I'm definitely interested in the research.



David and I looked at pretty vistas on our way to Holyoke.  We live in such a beautiful place.  And then the doc's office was downtown Holyoke.  The waiting room was primarily Spanish speaking and everyone was happy  It was so different than the Urologist's office.


We followed a rainbow almost all the way home to Sunderland and then again when I got back to Greenfield it was popping out places.



EJ made dinner for us tonight.  I went up and ate great soup in Northfield with them.  Nice to be with the animals.
