Selles: I Always get the Last Word ! (You think?)

 If you are one of those people diagnosed with Hepatitis C, or know someone who is, please check out this site. I have been a moderator for several years. My purpose is to help you or someone who loves you about the disease, what to ask the doctor and where you might go from here.  I consider J & F part of my extended family.  You will not receive any spam or be approached for any personal information.  We laugh , cry and share our feelings or the newest research information. The point is that you are not alone.  Here is the link:

 Ten years ago if you were diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension (PH), yours was a very grim situation. The average survival rate was less than 2 years. Thanks to the new medications we are living longer than ever.  If you or someone you know what is having trouble breathing and your doctor can't decide what it is,  please click here:

 
 
 
Selles and I visit  here a lot.  This site is for people with more advanced liver disease, cirrhosis, transplant, or for those wanting to consider becoming a LIVING DONOR
 
      

Liver Failure Site

There are two ways to save a life:
#1    Sign up to become an organ donor upon your death. You can do this simply by adding it to your driver's license the next time you renew or going to:
 
#2     Become a LIVING DONOR. Donors can actually give the "Gift of Life" to someone who needs a new liver . The only criteria is that you are healthy and that you have the same blood group (meaning blood type and EITHER positive or negative).  The liver is the only organ in the body that regenerates itself good as new!
 
***Selles has blood type O.  We live in the beautiful Northwest. Please email us if you will consider becoming a living donor for my wife.  Thanks so much and may God bless you.
