Peace

MIKEY commented on Cathy's group 'Liver Transplants'"Hey Andrew!! After my Liver tx in 2009, my energy levels were zero. However, I found that the more I pushed myself the stronger I got and energy levels improved (still not (still not 100%).
Perhaps your medication may be contributing to your…"

Unfortunately, politics has decided become the controlling factor in stem cell…"

- Hey Jimmy!!!!
Glad to hear from you and that you're in good spirits, hey life is good on my end. As with you I have been enjoying life, however energy levels are low from time to time, I think the med's are too strong. I am not slowing down much just have to take a short nap sometimes. Heading out on the 16th. to Atlanta to a concert with Brian Culbertson, can expect a big party and get to play Grandpa. Remember, THERE ARE GREAT DAYS AND GOOD DAYS AND NEVER BAD DAYS.
Peace
