DILEMA!!! I NEED SOME INPUT!

Hello translant friends.



I have a dilema. I recently had an interview for a job as a CNA at the nursing home in my area. It's a part time position. 28 hours per 2 week pay period. I did get the job.

The most important aspect of these past games is I was officially welcomed into the Quarter Century Club; all members have survived 25 years plus post transplant. Seeing the club members gathered together made me reflect on my life and what might have been if it wasn't for two families somewhere in Iowa who made the gre

My Interview with Nelson, Founder of Transplant Cafe

This is an article I wrote for my local OTS (Organ Transplant Support group) printed newsletter. I had to keep it to 400 words, which was NOT easy! I interviewed Nelson for the article. He suggested I also post it here. So here goes; I know nothing about HTML and stuff, so I'm just pasting it in here and hoping it looks right:
