Barry, what a clearshining mirror of love and concern there is here. Sometimes the best way to get to know someone is through the kind words said by those who love us. Your situation will be put before the prayer partners in the prayer chain later this afternoon, and they will have a link to this thread too, to get updates and express their concern and caring personally.

One of the people in the chain who has long been praying for others (Lauri, my best girl pal), is on the prayer list herself now as she is completing some tests for her own liver. I know she will pray for you especially sensitively and I would just ask that you keep her in your thoughts as well. She seems to attract much the same kind of feeling you do.

Rest well. Remember this is hard work your body is and will be doing-- please be sure to make lots and lots of room to recover.
