Paula M. Rice said… - Haven't talked in a while & got to missing you. Did U watch the SB? For once, the game was better than the commercials. Was the half-time show any good? I heard the little bit they broadcast. Maybe I just wasn't listening closely enough. Was on the cmputer,big surprise! You really should be here. Powder up to te tucus & the skiers are in 7th. Heaven! OK, REALLY sick joke,I know. But, still, that's how my donor & I "Met", God Bless him, always. Hope we get to meet, in Sept. Hope you didn't mind me sending Herbert to pick your imaginative brain. Artists fascinate me. The brilliance ofbeing able to see something where nothing existed. Ab Fab. Hugs & Blessings, Paula

Herbert Maldonado said… - Hey Jay, hope all is good ! Thanks for accepting my invite and no biggie on the time, i just figured you might have been trying to catch up with somethings or just been busy so all is good =)..
I was talking to Paula about trying to come up with something that will protect the Kidney's of new Kidney Recipients like my self in order to play some sports like Soccer. Doctor tells me its ok to play but just be extra cautious when I do play , but I know their is a Defensive player that plays in Europe on a Professional Level in a very Physical league and he had made a custom one for himself.... I tried sending the Soccer Club an email to see if maybe I can have an idea of what he did and how it looks like for I can get one my self because I love to play soccer but they never responded.. I checked for 2 weeks on sites looking for protection but came up empty, most kidney protectors are for the rear and not the front. I was told i can use a Lacrosse Rib Protector and wear it upside down and it will protect the new kidney.
So thanks to Joshua giving me the idea and passing it along to Paula who refereed me to you, I figure I will give u a shout and see if you can help in any sort way.. Paula tells me you are a great artist and you are def the person to talk to. So that's what im trying to accomplish now, a comfortable safety equipment that will protect new kidney recipients when they play sports . I have some ideas as well and it will be great to get some help because their has to be more people like me out there that are trying to play but are to scared cuz of no protection...
Thanks again Jay hope to hear from you soon!

- Haven't had a chance to talk lately. Wish you were here. The tx rate is pretty high. You might even have had it done by now! OK, that's my wishful thinking, I admit, but that doesn't change anything! Wish I hd a magic clock 4 you. Hugs & Blessings,
Paula
