Good morning Marty and great one to you I hope! I will pray for your kidney, and hope the best results for you daily. I am still hanging in there, and know you miss PA. That is one beautiful state. Cooler weather in FL and it is much welcomed. Love, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 9/22/2014 4:27:49 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, wa2...@gmail.com writes:
I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. Hopefully soon I will finally be able to get a kidney transplant. Until then I will just have to hold on. To answer a question that was asked of me. I still have my house in Pennsylvania but I couldn't go there this summer because I have to wait in Florida for a call for my kidney transplant. 18's Marty On Mon, Sep 22, 2014 at 8:19 AM, Myvety2k via CMLHope <cmlhope@googlegroups.com> wrote: > Marty, I hoping all goes well for you on the second surgery I know this > can't be the must fun thing that you want to go through at this point.
