Happy re-birthday!

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to provide a brief update. First I want to thank this

wonderful group for all their support. It is hard to believe it has

been a year. is doing really good. He still does not have all

his strength that he had before he got sick(he was a Mason), but overall

he is feeling better. His last blood work was exceptional. He is on 2

mg Prograf and 2000mg cellcept, along with some others. He decided to

go back to school full time. He started this August to pursue a degree

in Biomedical Technology. I am doing pretty good as well. I am

suffering from some back problems which the surgery may have made a

little worse(and also because I try and keep very active at 40). I have

Spondylolisthesis and Spondylolysis (which is slipped vertebrates and a

fracture of the vertebrate). I probably had this before I donated, but

it is worse after surgery. I still would donate again without looking

back. It is the most wonderful feeling to know you have helped someone

else live. Thanks gain for all the advise over the last couple of years

and all your thoughts and prayers.

It may have already been posted and if so it never hurts to repeat good

news but as you'll read, ny got his new liver Thursday.

I don't always, well I should say almost never, check my emails on the

weekend. Sorry such great news and a wonderful TGIF wasn't posted on

Friday.

pager. Early Thursday AM they called with a liver!!!!
