I PM'd long-time member melshell to see how she's doing since she hadn't posted in a long time (since we lost Goofynina). Here is her response: Hi Karol!
Thanks for checking in, I've actually been meaning to post the great news: I GOT A KIDNEY!!!  I was transplanted on May 16th, 2008. Everything went fantastically, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I hope to take the time soon to post-but in the meantime, if you could share the good news I would appreciate it, and thanks again for thinking of me!!!
huggs-
Melissa  Congrats Melissa!!  |
