Well, I finally finished part 5 of my transplant story. It took a lot longer than I expected, as it kept getting longer and longer. It is by far the most personal and difficult chapter I have written, but it was necessary for me to write it. It looks as though there will be at least 2-3 chapters still to write. My goal is to finish them and then move on to another project, writing short stories. But more on that later.

I want to thank all the people who are spoken of in this chapter. I don't think I left anyone out, but I blame my stroke if I did, and I am sorry. The timeline for this chapter was from October 17, 2002 - November 14, 2002, the time from my transplant until my discharge.

I appreciate all the guestbook entries very much and would love to hear from ALL of you. Email me or sign the book.

Well, I'm spent for now. Thanks for reading.
