Hi Nicola.
It will be 2 years in September since my transplant. I've had some ups and downs my self, but overall, its been good times. Since you have quite a few more years at this than I have, would you mind if I were to ask you some questions?
Talk to you soon,
Steve

Hi Steve, just turned on the computer to the Cafe, and lo and behold here you were. Good to have you aboard. I have another friend from Hawaii on board also, he name is Jen Lopez. great lady, I think you both are pretty much in the same progression post transplant. Her transplant was in December 2006 I think. Write her a note, she has lots of question that you could propably help her with I'm sure. Geez, she asks me things that I haven't know about and I had to research myself. Sometimes the answers are things I don't like to know but are enlighting to say the least. Bob J.
