Hi Ellen, I love your show. It really makes my day. My aunt is dying of cancer and my father, who had a heart transplant 17 yrs. ago and has never had any rejection is now having major problems. He is 75 yrs. old and of course, they will not give him a new heart. He was number 218. They are trying to treat him with medication. He had cancer 7 yrs. ago from the amune-rejecton medicine so they have to be very careful. what they give him. I am on disability. I have had six strokes. I have a seizure disorder, chronic migraines, and several other medical problems which some of the problems run in my family but I had an abusive ex-husband which hurt me a lot. The doctor feels that I may have had more than six stroke and wants to due several tests but now is not the time. I have two wonderful daughters, ages 19 and 22 whom which I stayed with their father until the youngest was in college and then I walked out. I now live in a very small apartment with two cats who are now my children but at least I take care of myself, support myself and only have to answer to myself. I have 4 degrees, an AA, two BA's and a MA which I try to use to the of my ability. I was a para-legal and then became a teacher. I substitute teach now but am only allowed to work one or two days a week because disability only allows you to work so much and the doctors are worried that if I overdue it I will have a major stroke and die. I due have some effects from the strokes that I have tried to overcome and most people say that they cannot tell that I have had any strokes at all. But I know and my family knows the effects and are very patient. Of course money is always a factor as I wanted my daughters to have the most that they could and my ex-husband was not will to give up anything even though we were married 28 years. Now we are trying to sell the house we own together and believe or not because he never did any repairs and let a leak to and ruin two floors, we are having trouble getting rid of the house. The original value has gone down dramically. I am so happy that your life is going well. Please do not over extend yourself. If anyone knows what can happen if you over extend yourself it's me. I had emailed prior and suggested that you see if you can get Jeffrey Donovan from Burn Notice on your show. I just love him. Just a suggestion. Take care and keep up the good work. Sue
