Morning all! Bennett's kidney biopsy went as good as possible on Friday. We were told we would be there for 4-6 hours after the procedure, but it was only 2. Got home around 7:30 Friday night. Had an easy weekend at the house after that. Now just waiting for the baby to decide she's ready to come out as well

Afternoon all! Broke down and bought a Blackstone. Finally tried it out yesterday. Just made some burgers, they were great. It will take some getting used to, especially the heat. I didn't have it hot enough. Going to get a thermometer and try again this week.

I got a Blackstone last summer and use it weekly. Even in the winter I was always using it. We do a lot of stir fry and fajitas on it. Lots of food and quick that way.

Just got the results back on the biopsy today. Not bad when we were told Wednesday for results. Minor scarring, but he said that's a good thing when he's been fighting this HSP since it shows the kidney is healing. They are putting him on a steroid for 2 months, along with his other prescription. Then we have to do a weekly labs on his first pee of the day as well. Hopefully the lab costs aren't too expensive, haha

I’m not a BBQer but the guys I know who are, competition winners in NJ, say it’s life changing…
