As regular readers of Zinc Moon will know, my husband had a liver transplant in June 2012….almost two years ago! He was lucky…he got a donor liver in time, and had an almost trouble free recovery that has meant he has been able to enjoy this second chance of life! So, when we heard about […]
As I blog every day, I thought it would be good to do a recap of what I have written about over the previous month…just in case you might have missed anything! So make yourself comfortable, make a cuppa, and read on about where Zinc Moon went in March….I certainly enjoyed the ride! My husband […]
I have being sharing my husband’s liver transplant story with you all over the last week or so to promote DonateLife Week 2014.

We were up very early this morning to head into the Liver Transplant Clinic, as my husband was still not 100% due to the bug we both […]
And I wish it would leave…NOW! If it wasn’t so stinking hot, I would throw open all the windows and doors, and hope it gets the hint! For the last couple of days, my husband has been feeling off colour…in a “normal” person, you would just put it down to heat, etc. But when that […]
