Hi Mike and Everybody---

Here I am!!!
I have a new, used lap top I an adjusting to, and have been off-line (unless for work) for a long while. Sorry tohave been out of touch for so long!

I am doing great. Have been able to wean down and off one of my meds. I was so happy to be able to eat grapefruit again after about 4 years on Cyclosporine! I had a visit at MERSI yesterday to make sure getting rid of that med had done no harm, and was glad to get good reports!

and was pleased to finally meet Frances, Allison Justus, and also briefly met Gay who spoke up in the waiting room. What a shame I did not have more time to spend with her and get acquainted in person!

I hope to keep more abreast with what is going on here as the days grow shorter, since I spend a little less time at work during shorter sinter days. I believe there are a lot of new folks I will have to get acquainted with.

Mike, I appreciate all you do and am glad to see you are still here!

My best to all!
