I am off to Pittsburg to meet with the VA transplant team this morning. I hope to get on the list for kidney and Pancreas. My wife is anxious about flying and makes the trip more stressful than it needs to be. Please wish us luck.

Lots of fingers crossed and prayers being said.  You have had an emotional month and I hope this is the start of good things happening.  Good luck!     :cuddle;

All the very best of luck, Bill...

I know your late Father-In-Law's looking down on you.....

I'm thinking of, and praying for you (and your poor wife... Flying must be such an ordeal for her!)...

May God bless and protect you both...

Best of luck on the flight Bill, and get your wife a little anxiety tablet maybe? Just enough to calm her down. And I hope all goes well with you.
