Tonight I realized that I have not written about three amazing women at Loyola who have been a big part of getting me to this point in my post-transplant life.
The first one is Billie Kostro. Billie was my pre-transplant coordinator and patiently took my phone calls and questions and concerns for 3 long years! She was wonderful in the process - always patient with me and always giving me good answers to my incessant questions. I want to thank her publicly. She has bequeathed me to the next person on my list.
The next one is my post-transplant coordinator at Loyola - Anita Pakrasi. Anita has inherited me from Billie and, of course, with that inheritance has come my incessant questions. Anita is an incredibly busy person but she always is willing to answer whatever questions that I have with patience and cheerfulness. She is stuck with me for awhile and because of that I want to thank her publicly as well for being willing to take me on!
The third one is Risha Moser who I believe (if the information I heard while I was going through the surgical process is correct) is the chief resident of urology at Loyola. She is one amazing doctor! She is very kind and caring and listens carefully to her patients’ concerns. And she is very gentle in performing various “procedures” (which will remain nameless for the sake of all of you sqeamish folks out there) that she is called upon to do. She has a remarkable career ahead of her.
All three of these women have been a part of the great blessing that has been and is still being bestowed on my life. I wanted you to know about them.
Thanks for reading.
