What is something I NEVER try and ask for...

Something that I never attempt to ask for is "help". I try to do things alone, and always give the answer, "I got it, I'm ok". Guess what, right now I need help. I hate that a "fundraiser" is being planned, but when people want to help, and when people offer to do "anything", we are now looking for help.

Patti is planning a golf outing, dinner, drinks, and silent auction that will take place June 5, 2010. Golfing will be at Shoreline in Carter Lake, Iowa, and should be quite entertaining. She is taking 4somes at $55 each person. Holes can be sponsored for a donation of $100. And any auction items will also be accepted. I know that a lot of my friends, family, and random people who read this know people. Here are some things that Patti would like to see be donated... and for the places that already have made donations, and for the people that have already signed up to golf, i am honored and very very thankful for your support!!

KC Chiefs or Royals Tickets
Worlds of Fun Passes or Adventureland
Cooking Classes -- maybe w some Pampered Chef goodies
Wine Tasting at someones home
Sporting Tickets -- Omaha, Lincoln, KC, anywhere really
Airline Gift Cards
Golf Course Passes
Tools
Booze
Hotel Rooms
Restaurant passes
Sporting Memorabilia
Ollie the Trolley rental
Limo rental

I haven't ever been to an event like this, and I guess I am just thinking of random things! Please if you have any ideas, suggestions, etc... etc... PLEASE email Patti and let her know.

And for the golfers that have signed up, again, thank you! You will be having a lot of fun AND helping me out!! Trust me, transplantation or not, any "party" I am involved in throwing will be worth every dime you can spare.

you can reach my sister Patti at 402-415-1931 or email at pshanahan4@cox.net

Here is to having good days and to admitting the doctors were right, and I would feel better and more energetic when dialysis started. Damn him!!! I won't tell Plumb that he is a great doctor and hasn't been wrong yet... my kidney's actually did stop working!! Ha ha ha!!

Much love... M
