This is photo of me on the stairs in the Gonda Lobby of Mayo Rochester. While waiting for transplant, and needing assistance to walk, my hope was that someday I would be able to walk down these stairs. And I did, during my 1st annual visit!
While awaiting my transplant, my husband and I decided that if we got thru this, we would go back to Alaska. This is me, at the Exit Glacier near Seward Alaska.
My liver and kidney transplant was in 2009. These photos were taken in 2010.
I want to tag -@dbirkel21, @kathycaudle, @karen51, @joko - What photo do you have that wouldn’t exist without your transplant?

Me in Las Vegas. Definitely would not have been there without transplant.
This is wonderful Rosemary! Thank you for sharing. These posts are actually for my husband. This is his wife K. We are being cautiously optimistic for a transplant. Your story gives us hope. We start evaluation for liver transplant at Mayo Phoenix this week. Also 10 yrs in the making. Hope. Keeping the FAITH. Confident in Mayo. Thank you again.

Great photos. Here's one of me and our beloved Max, the wonder dog, near Mt. Robson in the Canadian Rockies. Max refused to walk on those see-through metal catwalks (probably because they are called "cat" walks) and I had to carry him for miles. A testament to his stubbornness and my new strength.
