Hey Guys,

here. Not much new to tell from the North Coast (Cleveland that is.)

After Christmas (because that is the busy time at work,) I will go in for

hernia surgery. From all accounts of others that will put me out for a week

or two. But other then that just gearing up for the holidays.

Living alone again. My roomie decided to move in with his boyfriend so he

will be " officially " out of here by the end of the month. Guess I should

savor the feeling of independence while I can. (But if anyone ever needs a

place to stay in Cleveland I have an extra bed and several couches!)

If anyone is ever in Cleveland look me up!

Peace

Present!! Thank you so much for checking. I am still here. This is a

terrible, terrible time for me. My husband has MS and became suicidal on

Monday. I had to rush home from work, make sure Kaiser gave him some

medication (they did-zoloft) seems to be working fine, my boss is moving me

to another department because I appear to be " zonked " and have to many

personal problems to cater to hers. My doctors say all my functions are

normal, cannot explain my extreme fatigue, malaise, diarhea, constipation,

funny taste in my mouth - so suggested I need a psychiatrist and a pap smear

(just to make sure they arent missing something)-now why didn't I think of

that!!!!

Peace & love,

Ginger,

Just checking in to let you all know that I am doing fine. I don't post

often but do try to keep up to date with the list subjects. Almost 5 1/2

years post transplant, I am feeling fine but have some slight kidney problems

due to the anti-rejection medication, Prograf. My transplant center may

lower the level I take. I need some arthroscopic surgery on both knees

within the next few months due to damage by 12 years of prednisone use. But

all in all, I am feeling great and happy to be alive. I take one day at a

time and thank God for every day.

I am wondering if anyone happened to see a program on The Learning

Channel tonight from 7 to 8 pm (EST) which showed an actual liver transplant.

It was absolutely amazing and I am so glad that I got to see it. Wish I

could get a tape of that show to share with others. The patient sailed

through her liver transplant which was only 8 hrs. long and she spent 8 days

in the hospital post transplant, which I think is truly remarkable. Each

liver transplant patient is different and some people breeze through the

surgery while others struggle. (Unfortunately, I was one of the strugglers

with a 15 hr. transplant and several months in-hospital post transplant.)

But the show mentioned that the survival rate from liver transplants has

increased to 80 to 90%. I think those are encouraging statistics.

Good health and best wishes to all on this list.

I made a digital recording of the TLC episode, and plan on transferring to

tape.

It was a very good show for all those that missed the liver transplant

operation! Lori C.
