Hi Karen: I notice you are a friend of my wife Lina Spencer here on Transplant cafe ... I wanted to let you and the community know that Lina & I got "THE CALL" last night. Lina's surgery was to start at 10:30am this morning and although a scary time, we are very excited that new things are coming as her recovery starts later this afternoon. I'll do my best to keep you and the community updated. Best regards, Marshall Spencer

Good morning all you ppl on the site. What a glorious day it is.
I finally upgraded my desktop and Wow, was I ever a caveman before. I be onsite, I would say alot more.
In 3 more days it will be my 1 year re-birthday/anniversarywith my new lungs. What a wonderful year it has been.
I thank my donor and their family everyday. I wish I could send my condolences to them but I don't want to add to their pain. (Somehow, I thnk it would hurt them more) . I send them a Xmas card.
I know that I feel invi…
