I sure haven't been updating this blog all too often. I'd like to thank my cousin Tommy for generously running a fundraiser towards medical expenses after a recent hospital stay at the UW. Jenn and I are really enjoying spending time with our friends and family over here on the west side of Washington State. I'm still waiting for a donor heart to become available and it's getting very tough to remain patient over the years. But I love talking with people about my story and how the VAD has helped me. I'm trying to endorse organ donation by volunteering and doing the occasional interview. Honestly, I've been exhausted lately. I can't stand having the VAD anymore. Any day now...
