Hello everyone. I am sorry I haven't been around. I just wanted everyone to know that on Tuesday, September 1 just one day after my birthday, I received a Kidney at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, MO.  :bandance; :bandance; :bandance; :bandance; :yahoo; :yahoo; :yahoo; :yahoo; :yahoo;

I am home now and recovering nicely. The kidney is working very well for now.

I hope all is well with everyone else, and God bless.  :yahoo; :yahoo; :yahoo; :yahoo; :yahoo;

Joyfully,

Jeffrey W. Bowen

Great news!  I know Barnes -- use to live in St. Louis.  It has always had a good reputation.  Nice to hear when someone gets a kidney. It gives the rest of us hope.   :2thumbsup;
