awesome pic!!! And yeah the "moon face" spells transplant to me... I sure as hell couldn't give a stuff about having a moon face and people thinking it looks weird if it means I have a working transplant and a more normal life!!! Besides the moon look will go away soon enough. You still look gorgeous !!!

thank you finally for the pic!!! :grouphug;

I hate the moon face, but it's a small price to pay!   Plus, by the 2nd week in Feb. I'll be down to 10 mg of Prednisone!  Not much longer now!!!!    :clap;  At least at 10 mg the side effects start to go away!

Kelly, you look gorgeous.  I am so glad you didn't cut your hair before surgery.   I love all your curls. 

Nursewratchet great picure.  It really is special to meet a member and spend time with them.   You two look like you had a good time.

I think the picture of both of you looks great.  I think get togethers add so much to the doldrums of day to day existence. I can't wait for 2009 get togethers but hooking up(no pun intended) with other IHDers is exciting.
