A Message From Susan

I went into a regularly scheduled doctor's appointment yesterday, and they decided to check me into the hospital as an in-patient- for various reasons. This is actually good news I think because I'm going to be here for a full transplant evaluation for six days. This will fast track me.

Otherwise, the transplant process can drag out months, and honestly, I feel like crap. I certainly don't want to die, but don't want to live like this either.

Anyway, I guess anything is possible at this point. But, I'm hoping that I will check out OK and will be green lit for the transplant as early as next week. Sadly, the holiday season is a harvesting ground for transplant recipients. I can't believe I just wrote that ...
I will be using the hospital computer to update and get e-mails. Also, if you are inclined to send flowers, DON'T!!! Take that impulse and send the money to charity.

Here are a couple of my favorites:
At this website you can actually register to become a donor if you prematurely kick the bucket.
Others are of course:
Or just find something you care about on http://www.networkforgood.org/.

Also, my cell phone does work, but I probably will not be answering. Tragically, I discovered, I have a LARGE group of attentive family members and friends. I just don't have the energy to talk to anyone and write them back. I'm exhausted. But, I love you guys and think about you all the time.

- Susan
