Jeanie: I Want A Transplant, Too

Oooo, former VP Cheney made big headlines - he got a heart transplant! Good for him! It means that age is no limitation. He is 72. Can you imagine getting a heart transplant??? It boggles the brain. I think of the heart as pretty darned close to being my soul. How can you transplant a soul??? Anyway -- I think I’m an almost expert on this subject. I have officially been placed on the “list” for a kidney transplant. I have gone through a myriad of tests to prove I am ultra healthy, other than my kidneys. All transplant wannabees have to be healthy in every aspect - particularly be cancer-free. I am 62 (63 at the end of April). I am still viable (what a relief!)/JeanieSpokane, Nuts & Nonsense. More here.

Question: Do you have a family member or friend on a transplant list?
