Hopefully there was some good that came of it; you may not even know. Perhaps you being there at the hospital at that time was an important part of an "adjacent" person's journey. I'm glad to hear Mark could continue as planned anyway. Thanks so much to whomever had the website/comment idea! I'm sorry I haven't been able to keep in better touch. This makes it easy. Please know I think of you often. Kathy Sorry to hear of an unproductive trip to Boston, Lina. Hopefully there was some good that came of it; you may not even know.

As you said, the good news is that now you can hopefully enjoy more time when you're not confined, eat good food, enjoy your family. Thinking about you all.

Keep the "ball" in mind and know that not every play is successful in getting a first down. That's why there is more than one down! Important to keep focused and stay in the game! Several previous diversions and frustrations that you have already experienced, have made you mentally stronger. Draw on that and keep moving forward. Know I love you and my phone still rings 24/7.

Your words are well taken. What was that doctor thinking knowing Lina had a persistent cough and a cold!?? This time, perfect has to be the enemy of the good. Lina, Susan and Jeff are right: you will be in better shape to handle the challenges of the transplant. In the meantime, get those big baked potatoes mounded with sour cream and butter into that body of yours. Think of it as reinforcement time. You have another opportunity to get fat! :-) xxoo, Marta Here, here Susan. Your words are well taken. What was that doctor thinking knowing Lina had a persistent cough and a cold!??

I can appreciate the energy it takes to "get ready", and although it was probably the right thing to do, medically, its frustrating to get those mixed messages, especially when those that makes the decisions probably don't understand all the implications. Don't get me started!! Yet, I'm a firm believer in the idea that things happen for a reason and many times we don't why until later when we look back. It seems like you've "adjusted" and I wish you gourmet, fattening meals and movies that make you giggle! Again, thank you so much for this format. xoxo I’m so sorry for your frustrating experience Lina.

My thoughts are with you and Craig and Chloe and Moriah. Looking forward to going to another Sea Dogs game with you this summer!
