For all MM members, a FYI, Steve's health Options

[Guest_ohsteve_*]

Hello all my friends,

Just to let you all know, I finally had word back from University of Pittsburgh. They have told me that I am not an illegible candidate for lung transplant. Not the news I really wanted to hear, but I understand their reasons, I have far too many reactions to medications and an organ receiver has to be able to take multiple medications in large doses and is subject to lots of stress. They felt that I could not take the medication nor would my body withstand the stress.
I was semi-prepared for this so it is not a total surprise, I will continue to write and post here for as long as I can. Please do not feel badly about this, if you wish to try and help, then please donate to the American Lung Assoc. or your countries lung research projects to help in the fight against lung disease. Thank you all for your continued support and prayers.

Take care all,
Steve

Dear Steve~

I am sorry to hear this. But, as you say you were prepared and knew the risks up front and knew that there may be a rejection. You are very sensible.

I wish you well under the circumstances and hope that in other ways the Doctors may relieve your health problem. Or make you more comfortable.

Please know, that I think of you often and your amazing sense of humour and mischievous smile in your photo! AND especially the gift you have to write and we are privileged to share in your words.

Hugs from across the ocean!

From sunny South Africa!
