Doting Beans

What majority of the people do when they plan to travel -

1. What to see? (Excluding work related travels)
2. Hotel bookings or tour bookings
3. Wander for work or sightseeing (as applicable) and eat wherever and whenever possible

vs

When I plan to travel -
1. Aai making tasty faral and being with me at home every single time no matter what ❤
2. Me finding homestay - Airbnb to the rescue!
3. Is fresh, home-cooked available? Will the host provide it? checking.. checking.. more checking!
4. Looking for shops for bisleri bottle

Not to forget - medicines, mask, hygiene etc

When I finally make it - I get a feeling of victory for the day! ❤
Thanks to my aai, my employers and team 😇🙏 and thanks to my all airbnb hosts as well!

Time and dose of our life-saving medicines are very crucial routine of post-transplant life.
Although I am confident most of the times, I get confused at times and keep getting verified from my mother. 🙈
While many of us follow number of tricks to train ourselves, I am going to try this box-method now. (Earlier I had individual tiny-boxes)
1. Phone reminders are really helpful (also showing dose of the medicine)
2. Maintaining a daily record book helps
3. I neither call nor answer anyone's call 10-15 minutes prior to the medication time
4. And this method of filling medicines every night in the assigned spaces.
5. Most important, someone in our family who can remind us ( in my case, my mother ❤)

I would like to know what tips and tricks do you follow.
P.S. : Please ignore my craft skills 😅

Woah! It's the 1st Anniversary of Doting Beans! ❤🥳 It's been a wonderful year since I started off with this blog and support platform. I still remember the day when I decided to start with this and was planning how to go about it. My mother, my source of inspiration and encouragement, was the first to whom I read my blogs. And this will always be the same! Her instant reaction is something I look forward to. 🥰

Doting Beans wouldn't have been possible without love, care, motivation and support of each one of you. I saw this as a dream but your immense support carved it into something beyond my imagination! 💝🙏

I am very thankful to Prasanna Shirol Sir (Founder, ORDI) who motivated me to start a blog and share my journey with the kidney disease. Thanks so much to my mentors who gave me valuable and timely inputs. Thanks a ton to Prachi for designing a super awesome logo and posters! 😍 Thank you Omkar for helping with the website development. 🥰 Thank you so much Varad for developing mobile app of Doting Beans! 🤗 I am deeply grateful to my friends who wrote guest blogs - Aditya, Anomitra, Devashree and Janhavi. You all took this on an another level together. Thank you very much! 🤗❤🙏
Thank you everyone for sincerely and genuinely following all the blogs and giving me feedbacks, comments, wishes, virtual hugs and kisses, love, care and support! 💝😘
With Doting Beans, I got an opportunity to connect to many kind souls across the globe who were going through the similar situation and that indeed helped me to have a great support system around. 😇
Coincidentally I had a kidney transplant within last year that I had never thought would approach all of a sudden. But this initiative and your love gave me enough strength and positivity to face and recover from it. ❤🤗

Last but not the least I am extremely grateful to my wonderful family- parents, all the relatives and the Almighty due to whom I am here today. ❤🙏😇

Kindly excuse me if I have missed anyone inadvertently in the flow of emotions. 😊
Once again, thanks a ton and lots of love! 💖

Starting with the further chapters and informative blogs very soon. Sorry for bearing with me. Stay tuned. 😊

Thanks a lot team for an enriching experience! Looking forward to many more opportunities of working together. 😇❤
This is just the beginning...

Thanks so much to all of you for supporting me in this journey! I hope and wish to receive your support in future too. 🤗❤
