Today is the one-year anniversary of my kidney transplant. On January 27, 2021, my sister and I were at UCLA Medica Center being prepped for surgery. At the time, we were in the middle of a huge COVID case spike that overwhelmed all the hospitals and ICUs in Los Angeles County. Little did we know that the Omicron spike would be much much worse.
However, the kidney is still working fine, and hopefully I will have many more kidneyverdaries.
