End of year health update

Hi everyone,

So not a lot has happened with my health in the last 6 months. From the looks of things, a living donor transplant will not be happening anytime soon. I've been told of all the nice, loving people that called Haesung, none are a match. So for the immediate future, I will remain on dialysis. For those who have been asking, it is a 4 year wait in Ottawa for a cadaver transplant for my blood type. It's a 10 year wait in the GTA. The Ontario Gift of Life Network uses regional lists.

For a bit of good news, in the US a principal is donating a kidney to a student. Full story.

In even better news, the Green Party of Ontario pulled off their best election ever, and beat out the NDP in 18 ridings. However, that has meant a significant debt to the party. If you were thinking of getting me something for the holidays, I ask that you become a member or donate to the GPO. That would really make me smile. (This is directed at my Canadian friends.)

I returned to work at the beginning of October part time. I am working 3 times a week, alternating with Dialysis. I am working with the Ontario Disability Supports Program - Employment Supports as well to find a new job that better meets my needs. If you can think of a good employer and/or position either in Ottawa, Barrie or the GTA, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Thank you for being so supportive,

Peter
