Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Thanks for the " Happy Libber Day " on your blog. It really touched me. Of course I will stay with the group. I believe because of all your prayers and support is how I was able to get a new liver so quick. In a couple of months I have to start the treatment for Hepatitis C too so that the new liver can stay healthy. Penny > > OH, Penny, I am so glad to hear that you are finally home. It is so encouraging to know you and Aimee, and to see that you both got a liver. I hope you get well soon, and all of this being sick can be in your past, even though you have to take medicine. I made a little happy liver day party on my blog for you. I hope you don't mind. Aimee's daughter called her party for her transplant her " happy libber day " , so I made you a little picture(like a card). > http://billybobswildride.blogspot.com/2008/01/happy-libber-day- penny.html > Good luck, and I hope you will stay in our group, but I hope you live out all your dreams.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 If I have to have one, I'll have it at the University of Minnesota Hospital. They have a better record than Mayo.
