Hi All,
This Friday, June 12th, will be 3 months since Dale's transplant.
Healing continues, albeit too slowly to suit Dale. Which leads me to wonder "Does anyone ever think they heal fast enough?"
There have been no major setbacks, but the road to full health is a bit rocky and it just takes time for the liver to regrow (we are told by the docs that it should be almost full size by now). Stamina is still a major issue. Dale was planning to teach at the International Herb Symposium which starts this weekend but had to withdraw. He's just not at 100% yet.
Meanwhile, Dale's donor, the generous and selfless Matt T., also continues to recover. His recovery has had its share of ups and downs. Since Matt's a "working man" he has lost 3 months from work and is also not quite 100% so hasn't returned to the work force yet. Major abdominal surgery is a big hit to the system, even when you're healthy.
Dale has set up a "Donor's Fund" to help Matt through this period. If you feel moved to contribute to this fund, you can make a donation through PayPal sending money to amulet@botanikos.com. Or you can send a check made out to Dale Pendell and marked "Donor's Fund" in the bottom left corner. If you prefer to use the traditional method and send a check -- it can be mailed to Dale at PO Box 1423, Penn Valley CA 95946.
I hope that this finds everyone of you in good health and enjoying the turn towards summer.
Blessings and love to all,
laura
