Dr. Angel

[Guest guest]

,

A colonoscopy is part of the required battery of

tests that are typically done as part of the evaluation

for lung transplant.

I had ulnar nerve damage when I shattered my

radius two years ago, and nerve pain is no fun. I

still have tingling in two of my fingers (and a very

crooked hand).

You're a trouper - it's good to hear from you!

Peggy,

You've definitely got a stack of hearts from me to

you. You couldn't lose me if you tried!

Kathie,

You made me laugh out loud! I can relate to the

idea of being a human sprinkler. ha!

I forgot to tell everyone that my new San

transplant pulmo is very cute, now that the topic

has been mentioned. In fact, the surgeon was eye

candy too. Better still, the doctor's NAME is Dr.

Angel. It's pronounced ahn-hel, but however you

say it, how cool is that to have an Angel on your

potential transplant team!?

Irene,

I'm really fine. I definitely do have a stronger feeling

that something BIG's maybe about to happen after

getting double-listed. But I still sleep well at night

and don't jump when the phone rings, so all's well.

Life's such a grand adventure, and most days I'm

enjoying the ride.

Hugs,
