    So I looked it up, once I’m on a tapered medication at 6 months, I can get my DOT card for graduates times. 3months, 6months and then annually. So this might work out after all. I’d have to start from scratch though, haven’t driven since December 2018. That’s beyond the experience window of “within the last 5 years. “

    Without starting from scratch, how would one get back out there and still pull off a home weekly(ish) gig?

    Meh. Got to do a biopsy next week on the new kidney. Numbers are holding but not improving as fast as they want

    Biopsy today. Probably more anxiety for the procedure than it actually hurt. Just time consuming

    Creatine slowly going down still. I predict about 2 weeks and it will register as normal

    Biopsy came back. Clear as mud to read. I’ll have to wait until tomorrow for my video call with doctors about it.

    Well, my kidney is not in rejection. But it’s possible the donor had undiagnosed diabetes. So I have to watch myself for high A1C

    Well, my annual camping and music festival is done for this year. I actually made a little money doing it, thanks to a raffle. I learned that it is not easy to organize a festival and especially difficult when recovering from surgery.
    next year I hope to grow it with more sponsors and bigger acts

    Still not cleared to go back to work yet. I have another follow up in Detroit on Monday. Hopefully I can get the go ahead and maybe a letter stating I’m at the long term maintenance medication regimen and can drive a cmv without restrictions. running low on cash and these hourly jobs locally aren’t cutting it.
    I doubt I could do OTR for weeks at a time, but I could go for a dedicated run so it’s predictable. My problem is I haven’t driven in going on 6 years. Who would hire me? do I dare step into ownership again? Seems like a lot of needless stress.
