Share how your transplant experience changed your life?
I have been listed for transplant of the liver due to HepC, cirrhosis, for 3 years now. I am listed at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle, Washington. Transplant Buddies was the first place I went when I found that I needed a transplant as I went through evaluation process. Everyone walked and talked me through the procedure and help me with my anxiety. I have not been participating alot lately due to progression of my disease, but try and keep up the best I can while I wait. I am also a RN and worked ER for 21 years. This has allowed me to sometimes be of help to those looking to interpret lab and diagnostic tests. Lastly, I am a vocalist and artist of sorts and continue to enjoy creating as long as I am able.

Thinking of you Linda
Hi Linda,
whenever you are able to and up to posting, just say hi. Sometimes people just post inspiring quotes that lift them up. When something lifts you up just share. I believe this instills the greater sense of positiveness from within. You are very special!! Love, Rise'
I see you popped on. How are you? Please send me a message.
love, Rise'

I Am still looking for the site with the pin..But I came across this site.. You can make things with your art and sell it you need to scroll down to find it...

It seems a lot of things for Hepatitis C awareness are slowing down. I belong to a few groups and I am not getting T Shirts and Flyers any longer from them. I will look for the pin later this evening when I am laying and watching TV.. How are you? I am doing great had my first Ultra Sound and Doppler done on my Donor Within and all was normal. My first time in my life time I had a normal scan...
