New Horizons

Dear Friends,

[Caveat: It has taken a week for me to write this. Meaning? I am still very slow. While I truly appreciate hearing from you, please don’t hold it against me if you do not get a rapid (or expansive) response.]

It has been a momentous time over the last six weeks.


From the despair of not knowing how I was going to get home from my visit to Stanford to undergoing a double lung transplant to working my way through recovery.


On June 20th I underwent a nine and a half hour surgery and received a new set of lungs to replace those destroyed by pulmonary hypertension.
