Kidney Transplants are like Hockey Games!
You start off with a big burst of excitement
* knowing you have a kidney *the National Anthem playing
Then the puck drop…
*you have to take what comes with the kidney *you never know how the puck will drop
A score!
* the doc says things are going good *the team and fans yell
Icing…
*a minor setback – hopefully fixable *your team has a disadvantage
Penalty…
* Doc says something is wrong *have a seat in that box
Line adjustment
*medication gets adjusted * switch the player for a different one
Off Sides
* body fighting with the new kidney *give that puck back to the other team
Hawks Win!!!
*Kidney Works! *Chicago Blackhawk fans are Happy! 🙂
Oh and How can I forget the Fight!
*Kidney fights last a lifetime *Hockey fights last like 30 seconds

What a great comparison! Love how you broke it down into the different parts like that – so smart!
It’s been a year since I’d seen your blog and was overjoyed to find out your husband had his transplant and was doing well – so happy for both of you!
