Hi all, I have been working very hard completing all the medical tests they have been throwing at me for the last (7) months and yes there is a God. I went on the list 4/3/07. It is a nervous feeling at this time but, it is also a great feeling too..Boxman55

Such a relief to finally know, isn't it?  I just got out of list limbo myself.

Thanks everyone. I just got a box full of empty blood vials and instructions on how to wait for the call. I guess I have to send blood in once a month. It is worth the effort. Boxman55
