Today I attended a seminar for kidney transplant patients on the UNOS waitlist. I am so impressed with their support for patients. My friend Alma joined me and we had lunch on the Hill at a deli that dates back to 1918 and a lovely stroll around the Zoo at Forest Park. Thank you again to those that have reached out to Barnes on my behalf.
