Update on Gwynne

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

In the past few weeks I've begun getting the tests required for

my one-year tx anniversary (Apr. 3). I had a Bronchoscopy this

past Tuesday, and there was no sign of rejection. I hadn't had

a bronch in quite a while, so I was relieved and joyful. Other

tests have shown my blood clots to be gone. I've had a VQ

scan, EKG, Echo, and an HRCT - all good. The only thing

we're still working on is figuring out why I get so many UTI's.

I do still get short of breath, though NOTHING like before,

upon mild to moderate exertion. The doc thinks that, since

my right native lung has gotten worse, it's dragging me down

a bit. But my new left lung looks great and is working fine!

My sweet brother and sister-in-law are throwing a " re-birthday "

bash for me on Friday, Apr. 3. And some other friends are going

to do a very girly thing and take me to high tea at one of the local

hotels. La dee Dah. Sounds like fun!

I miss hearing from Judy and Kerry. Jack and Jim, I'm praying

for you and loving your posts. GIO, Keep playing the piano.

I don't play often enough either, but it's so satisfying. Have

you ever written any music? Peggy and Sher, you two just

MUST get better fast. Big hugs to you. To the newbies, a

big welcome.

Hugs and blessings,
