Note from Stacey

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 on the Skyline Badminton team and training for the U.S. Transplant Games. If anyone is interested in an electronic copy of the article, e-mail me. Today, I participated in the Shamrock Showdown ABS Bouldering competition. I entered the Recreational category since I am a bit of a chicken about bouldering since the transplant. I took second place, which I was really excited about until I realized there were only two people in my category. My biggest win was actually the chalk bag I got in the raffle drawing.
