Guest guest Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Thank you Gwynne! I'm glad to hear you're getting the transplant. Irene ---- Original Message ---- To: BREATHE-SUPPORT Information <Breathe-Support > Sent: Sun, 3 Feb 2008 11:50 pm Subject: great support Thanks, Leanne, Bruce, Peggy, , , Sher, Joyce, and EVERYONE else who has been cheering me on toward, hopefully, a transplant. It really helps knowing you're there! , I promise I won't trip on the way to the phone. The time of day the reality hits me the hardest is when I go to bed, because these things so often take place in the middle of the night. If that happens, I promise not to break my wrist reaching over to my bedside table phone. :-) Bruce, You're just a sweetie to post the information and stats and offer me such solid encouragement. You're a good friend, and I can use all the good vibes anyone wants to send my way. Beggars can't be choosers, but I do feel very good about the medical teams at either center. It's really weird - I like the protocol at UTSW, but probably have just as much confidence in the docs at UTHSCSA even after one day simply because, for one thing, they're not so overworked. As I saId, everything's a trade-off. This is so funny. My dad, who wears hearing aids and misses quite a bit, saw the doc's nametag with UTHSCSA on it and thought it was his name. He had a heck of time trying to figure out how to pronounce that one! Mama Sher, My prayers go with you tomorrow. I hope the day goes very smoothly and that you'll have terrific results and a short recovery time. Kerry, Thanks bunches for checking in on Joyce. I'm glad she felt a bit better today. Bless her heart, I think of her SOOOO much. I pray that the new medicine will work and that she can tolerate it. I'm so grateful that she has Lucian - what a good man he seems to be. This must be so very difficult for him. The whole family is in my prayers. I sent a card but am not going to call now - I keep thinking she needs rest above all. Irene, Sending bunches of well wishes your way. I hope tomorrow finds you more comfortable and in good spirits. I wish you lived closer so we could come visit you or bring you soup, but you know we're with you in spirit. I know you will continue to be strong. I hope this week will bring you much improvement, and no pain! (((hugs))) Judy, What time of day was your transplant? It was so good to read your last post, and to hear that things are looking much brighter. You've been through so much and I'm sure those three months seemed like three years! I hope you continue to feel stronger with every passing week. Have you been able to start any pool rehab yet? Keep us posted. God bless.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Gwynne, I'm throwing in my well wishes too! A friend of mine just got transplanted in December and is finally gaining ground and doing much better. He's 48 tomorrow, and he got the call fairly quick after being listed. You're on my prayer list, and also the " good vibes " list.... I'm glad you liked the folks in SA, but my wish will be that you get the call from the team you want the most.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Gwynne....I had to LOL at your dad's response to the Dr's. name tag! What a funny story!
