i get upset whenever i see his name in my email contact list.

Hey dude,

Thanx for the note. Things are getting better I guess. I had a really good meeting with a new cardiologist yesterday. I feel a lot more confident about the heart stuff. I just need to find a kidney now, but that might not be as big a problem as I thought... The biggest problem is that I owe like $40,000 and that doesn't include dialysis! I'm not totally sure what to do about it, but I'm applying for every state or government funded aid there is...

See ya,

Lance
