WOW! I just heard from Stacey. She just won the gold in badmitton at the Transplant Games. Now she is even thinking of going to the World Championships next year. Great going Stacey! We are all very proud of you! -Felix, from scorching Stockton

Hi Stacey! Just wanted to wish you good luck in the Transplant Games in KY and that you have fun in the badmitton event. When you get back to CA, I would love to see you. Will give you a call! In the meantime, take care! love, -Felix, from Stockton

Stacey: It was great chatting with you the other day. Good luck at the Transplant Games!!! I still think there should be a Transplant X-Games, you’d clean house. Unfortunately, I don’t think this would be so popular with the doctors. :confused: Good luck again, and have fun! Love, Cherie, from Oakland

Hi Stacey! I thought of you today. A nurse just came over to take some fluid specimens for insurance purposes, and, like you, when she drew blood I decided to watch the entire thing. Normally I look away and cringe but then I remembered you and how you watch the nurses stick you with needles… pretty neat 🙂 Anyhow, another thing I thought of you the other week. I finally exceeded the distance of “Stacey’s Run From Lam,” this time doing 53 miles, in Wyoming. I would never have had the confidence to do that distance if the 40-miler with you had not gone so well. Attached is a photo (taken early in the race when I wasn’t walking yet 🙂 ) I will be in CA later this month. Will give you a call! love, -Felix, from Fort Collins

Hi Stacey, Here’s a photo that shows Mia Marie’s technique – click on it to enlarge. Yes, that is her foot up by her ear. She is very strong and very flexible. Maybe you can take her to the gym soon? See you in about a week, we are so excited! Love, Denise, from Riga

Hi Stacey, Here’s the playpen pic I told you about. We added the top bar a little while ago, and that slowed her down for about a day. Now she can easily scamper over that as well! Your neice truly takes after you! I love you, Denise, from Riga

Hi Stacey! I am glad you are doing well. Good luck at the transplant games! I should be in CA in late June and then late July, and will definitely try to give you a call. In the meantime, take care! love, -Felix, from Fort Collins

Hey Stacey! I got your message, will call you this weekend. I’ve been working nights all week, unpacking my stuff (which showed up Tues), and graphics during the day. Lots to talk about. Seems we have a mutual friend through Hans. Funny how small the climbing world is. Lots of love, carolyn, from BO

HI Stacey, Yes, I think you will win any “double lung tx named stacey” awards. Now that the weather is nice We will have to get together so I can give you (and any of your friends) some swimming help!!(of course you have to find your wet suit…) Mary, from Palo Alto

You sicko! how can you watch the needle go in!!! I always always always look away until it goes in. I don’t even like seeing the blood come out. Of course, I do donate platelets, but that is totally different! Knowing you, you will break the transplant longevity record just because you like to break records… 🙂 Mary
