Is how long I've had my transplant according to the med sheet they gave me at clinic yesterday After 4 months of my liver and kidney numbers being high and having to go in there once or every other week, they've gone back to normal and I don't have to return for another three months! I started back running two weeks ago...I made it through all this bull without ending up in the hospital and things are finally getting back to normal. now about that marathon I was supposed to do...I dont think its possible to get from 2 miles to 20 in two months...so dropping down to the half

THAT is what counts, what really matters. For you and for all those that love you and want you in their lives for years to come. Stay healthy, stay strong and don't stress for a minute over the races -- you love running, enjoy each mile that passes under your shoes, fast, slow, race or whatever.

I am glad your life is back to normal. Are you running the ATLANTA ING? If so, I am volunteering. Hope to see you there.

Run until the trail runs out.
