Hi. I am a liver/kidney recipient Oct 1012 and I volunteer at Mayo Jax on Mondays. If you would like, maybe we could meet and discuss the process. If interested, just let me know via this link, and we can exchange contact information. Good luck to you.
@wmoser2613, I am happy to read a post from a 'fellow' liver/kidney recipient! It sounds like you are doing well and making good use of your new life by volunteering at Mayo. I am sure that patients enjoy meeting you. Do you volunteer in Transplant dept?
I want to tag @ginal to this message because I believe that you are talking to her. - Note: There is a Private Message system if either of you wants to share private contact information. Click envelope top of page, or see directions on following link.-

Please do tag her. I actually work with the veterans in the hospital, but regularly meet and talk with transplant patients as well. I enjoy sharing stories.
@wmoser2613, She will get it because I used her @name. That is how you can address a message to a particular individual and they will get an email notification. That is why I used @wmoser2613 at the beginning of this reply.
If you ever have any spare time, You are invited to share your stories here in the transplant discussions!
