Walking The Thin Man

In May 2005, I learned that I had developed amyloidosis, a rare protein folding disease. This is my story.

Happy Holidays

I made my annual trek down to New York yesterday to visit friends and family for Christmas. After three months of rest and relaxation in Boston, I am now embroiled in the stressfulness and chaos that is the holidays.

I'm trying to schedule followup appointments with my nephologist and cardiologist, but it seems that I won't be able to make progress on that until the new year.

So, I wanted to wish everyone a peaceful and fun holiday season! No matter whatever your beliefs may be, I think we all see the coming of winter and eventual lengthening of the days as a symbol of rebirth, and a chance to turn a new leaf in our lives. For me, I believe that I will overeat on Christmas again and pass out.

And I leave with a final word of wisdom: if you are going on a long trip by car, do not take water pills right before you leave. That is all.
