This blog is ending

On Friday this blog will end. Why? Well I have been thinking hard about this. The primary purpose of this blog was to record my progress through my treatment for my 3rd kidney transplant and the new protocol of desensitization.

This Friday will mark the 3 month mark since I have had the transplant and for me this is when I feel that I have become a normal transplant patient - the doctors said this occurred at the 6 or 8 week mark. I feel that keeping the blog going indefinitely misses its aim.

I will continue to write a blog but this will become a bit more diverse focusing in the beginning on things like charity work, my london marathon efforts, news and events in the renal field and a "effort to promote healthy living and lifestyle in dialysis and transplant patients."

I will write later in the week where this can be found.I would like to take the opportunity to thank all those that have made it possible to be writing this now, to all those that have supported me and the charity work and wish you all happiness.But for now "live life and then give life"

Good luck Ian. We are sorry the blog is ending. We have been reading it irregularly to see how you were progressing and praying for you and your family regularly. It looks from the blog as if things are improving for you. Great.
In the next few weeks, we will be sending your mother and father a copy of our new book entitled "The Genealogy of the Purchase Family in Britain and Southern Africa".
All our love and best wishes,
Nancy and Graham Purchase

Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog
platform are you using for this site? I'm getting fed up of Wordpress because I've had issues with
hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog jump out.
Please let me know where you got your design. Many thanks

Today, I went to the beach with my children.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put
the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had
to tell someone!
