Well, I finally posted Part VII ("In My Life") of my transplant story on my website. It covers from my first rejection (yes, I know - I've been rejected lots of times - shut up) until our move to Chicago, in September 2003. I hope you enjoy it. It doesn't seem to be as boring as part 6, since I discuss a lot of traveling and the NY blackout.

Otherwise, I'm still waiting for my blood work results to come back. Although I'm still a little spacey (what else is new), I feel a bit better. Unless I start to show other symptoms of Shingles (breaking out in pox), the doc says I can get out and around by Saturday.

Although Elisha started school last week, the others started today (HOORAY!!!). Now that Renee has started working full-time, I have the apartment all to myself. Ahhhhhh. Unfortunately, I no longer have an excuse for the place being a mess.

I officially became old the other day. My oldest, Rachel, became a teenager. Truth is, she started acting like one 4 years ago, but now it's official. For those of you who read the comic strip, "Zits", understand that Rachel and Jeremy share a brain.

Of course my "friend," Nachie, always told me that if I had even "half a brain", I'd be dangerous. But, I digress.

Let me know what you think of this latest installment. I will probably write one more chapter, before I'm done. I don't really want to be writing about things that have just happened, so part 8 will only cover up to the beginning of this past summer (unless I change my mind!)
