Dear Santa: My Medical Wishlist

It is the most wonderful time of the year!

Christmas is magical, at least it should be. There are lights, decorations, music, food, family, friends, and sometimes gifts. My two biggest requests for Santa this year are a new kidney and happiness, but he cannot really provide those. Both of those are up to me and my medical team at UCSF. But for now I can still write Santa a Christmas wishlist just like I did when I was a child, except it is a little medically focused for after transplant.

- Qardio Base 2, Wireless Smart Scale and Body Analyzer  in White

- VogMask, Surgical & Respiratory Filter in Hummingbird Size Medium

- Digital Thermometer, Oral for Adults

- Hand Sanitizers, Bath & Body Works Vanilla or Lavender

- Hidrate Spark, Smart Water Bottle in Purple or Teal

- "Surviving and Thriving with an Invisible Chronic Illness" by Ilana Jacqueline

- Vionic Slip On Sneaker, in Natural Snake Size 9

- Kenmore Small Room Air Purifier
