Note from Stacey
Yesterday was a good day. The coach had us pick numbers for partners and we played a doubles tournament. Surprisingly, I won 3 out of 4 games. I felt good that I could keep up. After badminton I went out to dinner with the team. I tried to recruit them for trying rock-climbing, but was…

Last Thursday’s tests went pretty well. My PFT score was 57%, a little lower but still within a good range. I continue to play badminton with the team. They are good players, and I have a lot to learn. I am finding it a very humbling experience to play actual games. I tend to lose…

Mary, thanks for your note and your encouragement! I am at the hospital again for a blood draw. I am getting used to them and do not mind being poked that much. Tomorrow, I will come back to the hospital for a clinic day. I will have more tests, including a Pulmonary Function Test. I’ll…

Hi Denise, It was great talking to you on the phone this morning! Thank you for the picture of Sophie and Lacidaci. I’m feeling fine this morning. It is a relief to know that I can get sick and survive without going to the hospital. It was the first time since I have had a…

Hi Sis, Sure hope you’re feeling better, and I am looking forward to talking to you in person to get the full doctor’s report. Seems that every time I call you you’re driving somewhere and I hate to distract you when you’re on the road. I’ll call tonight (morning for you) and we’ll try again…

I had a blood draw yesterday, and I go in for a clinic visit with the doctors today, along with another Pulmonary Function Test. Stacey, from…

Hi Stacey. Man, sorry about being sick… it didn’t sound like you had a pleasant day at all yesterday. 🙁 I’m glad your lung function went back up though. LOL, I suffered from the same type of “chronic rejection” as Miki did in high school, too! I will hold hope that your body doesn’t do…

Miki, thanks for writing. That is a great picture. Good luck in the relay. I have been feeling sick for the past couple days, not able to keep any food down. I must have vomited five times yesterday. I do not have a fever, so hopefully this is nothing serious. I am going in to…

Note from Miki
Stacey! Second place is great! I was surprised and sorry to hear about your “chronic rejection” (something I suffered from in high school with all my lame attempts to land a boyfriend.) Sorry, couldn’t help it. Sometimes, as you know, you just have to laugh. It sounds like your spirits are up — We’re revving…

The fluid tap (thoracentesis) did not work, so I will need to schedule another procedure which will involve an ultrasound so they can tell exactly where to insert the extraction needle. Tomorrow (Sunday, March 12th) there will be an article coming out in the Burlingame, San Mateo, and Redwood City Daily News about my participation…
