Pelagia, what a wonderful addition you have been to this site.  You have so much compassion and are wonderful at reaching out to to other members.  Your experiences help make the road smoother for those just starting this journey.  I kno  I will turning  to you when (not if!) my turn comes for a transplant.  You are invaluable and we are so glad you are one of us.   :cuddle;   :cuddle;  Happy one year Anniversary   :2thumbsup;

Well I am another person who just cannot at this point imagine IHD without you Pelagia.  It feels like you've always been here and like so many members you're totally essential to my individual and to our collective well-being.  I also wish Stephen the longest and most uneventful transplant experience possible.
