  1. #GeneticallyModified #pig #kidney keeps man alive for record nine months
    Organ kept Tim Andrews off #dialysis and acted as a ‘bridge’ while he waited for a human #transplant
    He had end-stage kidney disease caused by type 2 #diabetes and had only a 9% chance of receiving a human kidney within 5yr, and more than 40% risk of dying or being removed from waiting list. Kidney transplantation provides best survival and quality of life but demand for organs far exceeds supply.

  2. And it works! This past Thursday I went to an opening I wasn't really THAT interested in but ended up having a delightful conversation with a local artist (completely separate from the exhibit actually - she just happened to be at Aqus and didn't even know there was an opening happening) #petaluma #sonomaCounty #newcomer #transplant

  3. Very tired but going to try and summon the energy to at least stop in for a bit at some art show openings in town. Part of my efforts to get more grounded in my new home. Something I've been neglecting to do.

  4. Hmm, conundrum... I am signed up for the monthly volunteer training at the local humane society, so that I can start volunteering and get some canine time, but I also found out about a recital at the same time that sounds interesting and also might be a way to get to know better more people in town who have similar vocal/singing interests to me...

    My gut is I should reschedule the volunteer training (by 5 weeks): that happens monthly but this recital is a much rarer event, so I should prioritize that.
