A few years ago, I was Diagnosed with Biliary Cirrhosis and Ulcer Colitis. I am still currently on the waiting list for a new liver at New York University Hospital. I have been on the list, since 2006. In the meantime, as I wait, I spend most of my days reading, networking with authors and reading Groups and spending quality time with my grandbabies.
There are so many Authors, who have given me a lot of comfort, with their writing. I enjoy networking and socializing with them through emails, especially while I was in the process of writing my story. They were a great help and source of motivation! Read More Read Less
