Hi Colleen,

Thanks for the welcome and I look forward to being part of the groups. I don’t think my wife will join at this time.

So, she was diagnosed with PBS Primary Biliary Cirrhosis, some 20 years ago, caused by the immune system attacking her liver. The time came for the transplant and a deceased donor was located. We moved to Rochester MN over four months ago when put on the on call list per advice of the doctor. Also, we didn’t want to travel home then back here four months later because of the pandemic. We’ll be heading home in a few weeks.

Her position at Gildas Club of Kentuckian is IT and I help out where I can in the kitchen, as a photographer, whatever is needed and at events. We are not social workers for client support however Gilda’s Club of Kentuckian has a great staff of professionals, hosting virtual support groups on-line and events. It’s all free. The Club House will open for in person services once it is safe.

Anyone living with cancer and would like to join can go to a local chapter or we take everyone from any state or country. Go to Gilda’s Club Kentuckian. Maybe you could post that information for the cancer group. I hope I’m not breaking any rules posting this information. It’s always something.

On flu shots, yesterday I had the FluAd for 65 and up and she had the normal dose at CVS.

Take care...
