I am Interested in Transplant Friends because...
I am the type of person who wants to know the good, bad and ugly of a transplant. I believe a person should be their own advocate, asking questions and getting answers. Going forward with plans optimistically. I also like people and enjoy sharing and chatting.
Which Transplant Center has or will perform your life saving surgery?
UC San Diego, California (not) May UCLA?

I am retired and want badly to really be retired. I'm looking forward to my favorite vacations cruising. Since my DX I weren't able to fly we lost out on the Carrabeans (sp) and want to go back there. This was where we went on our honeymoon and the ocean is so see thru blue it is amazing. I like playing games against my husband, Fred on the computer. Since I've been so ill I watch the cooking shows and am anxious to start cooking again. I love to pencil and ink draw and do a little since I got worse. Our home is and open house to all.
