A good friend of mine Gary Klausner wrote "Never Say Never". I am going to buy this book today.

If you know someone with CF, they will definitely be inspired by Gary's words. Whenver I talk to Gary, I always feel uplifted. I cannot wait to read his book.

Thank you for sharing!

Comment by Robbie Pittman on October 27, 2011 at 2:35pm: I recently wrote a book about pre and post heart transplant. Check it out. It starts from when I first became sick, to the LVAD, the transplant then the menengitus coma to my 2 kids anf then to now. Its called "Change of Heart" by Robbie Pittman. Thank you.

Comment by KimKircher on October 21, 2011 at 4:30pm: My memoir, The Next 15 Minutes: Strength from the Top of the Mountain, tells how I used the skills learned as an EMT and ski patroller to get through my husband's bile duct cancer and ultimate live donor liver transplant. Just like on the slopes, I had to slow down and take it just 15 minutes at a time, lest I might panic. If I looked too far into the future at all the "what ifs" I lost the nerve to do the next right thing to get through it. I found parallels to my experience at my husband's bedside to the life I'd lived in the mountains for 20 years.
