Mark,

I definitely will be there. Tomorrow may be an odd meeting. The coordinator is moving on to another position so it will be a strange one to start off with but come anyhow. It is in the cafeteria (all the way to the back). Hopefully I will see you there.

Mark,

My name is Dave Yish. Sandy Stone mentioned that you made contact with her. I am involved in the Transplant Games with Sandy. I noticed your question about Hartford Hospital's support group. I go most months and it is pretty good. I received my heart there a little over a year ago.

If you like, I'll let you know when the next one is. They usually run about an hour.

All the best,
Dave

Hi Mark, nice to meet you. We have something in common, we both had our transplants at Columbia in Washington Heights. Who was your surgeon and do you go to the clinic at 14 PH ?
I belong to a support group there and we meet twice a month so I'm around quite often. How's your health ? I have too many questions, I know, so I'll ease up.
