Hi all!

Been feeling down and out the last few days. Ended up in the ER Monday. There were no beds at the transplant center, so they just doped me up and sent me home with a ton of morphine. The past couple nights I been waking up with bad chest pains and unable to breath. As to why this is going on, I have no idea. The ER check show nothing bad, but I been feeling drained for about a week now. No extra body fluid.

I will be heading to New Orleans at 5:30 am. Have an appointment at 7:30 and I'm not looking forward to the ride. Was told to pack a bag. Not good!

On a side note. One of my last uncles, is in the hospital at Ochsners right now with CH. The hospital in Baton Rouge wrote him off all together. I just happen to be in the room at the time the doctor came in. Told the family they need a second opinon. I got on the phne and called the transplant center. Had the family send all records. After a half a day, they called and said they could help my uncle. He was transported last Sunday evening and doing much better now.

So, it pays to get a second opinon!

Take care and God Bless,
Paul
