Hello!

Well I finally got the confirmed transplant date! It was all like a
dream today and now the reality sets in. I go to Vancouver General
Hospital on September 20th to have all my preop tests done and then
am admitted Monday morning September 23rd for the transplant. Once I
get settled in and know more about the time etc I'll drop you another
line. May GOD and his ANGELS watch over you and your loved ones. You
are in my thoughts and in my prayers. Thank you for being my friend
and my support as I couldn't have done it without you! I am so
grateful GOD had our paths meet in our journey of life. I am sorry if
I ever offended anyone or hurt their feelings as this is not in my
nature so if I have I truly apologize.

Love and Friendship Always
Patti.....Rabbit
