GLOBAL 16x9: SATURDAY MARCH 5th AT 7pm and CTV SWO: MONDAY MARCH 7th AT 6pm

We have been informed that March 5th is the Global 16x9 air day. There is a "teaser" online here.

CTV Southwestern Ontario will have a segment on Monday on the local 6 o'clock news.

I will post links to the segments here if you miss them. They will be good!

Biopsy #6 and Global

GRADE ZERO REJECTION!!

My biopsy this past week showed no rejection. How exciting! The docs decided to lower my predisone by 5mg/day. One less pill. It's a great start!

The doc told me that I'm ahead of schedule with my pressures. I have "normal" pressures and, in fact, I should have more fluid and eat more salt! That gave me a good laugh. More salt?! They keep telling me that it's ok to have a slice of pizza or a cheeseburger once-in-a-while. It's difficult for me to get into my head. I still feel guilty eating high salt foods. Everything in moderation. That's a good rule.

I know many of you are asking about the Global 16x9 air date and I apologize for all of the changes. The date has been changed several times and now I am unaware of the official air date. Please visit www.global16x9.com to find out what they have scheduled. I will try to post the date when I know it but it may change again and I will continue to confuse all of you. It really is going to be a great show when it finally gets on the air! Thanks for your patience.

GLOBAL 16X9 AIRDATE CHANGE!

This post is to just let you know that the Global 16x9 segment will air SATURDAY FEBRUARY 19th at 7:00pm. Tune to your local provider's Global station to watch. This is different from what I have been telling everyone. I received an email from the Global staff notifying me of the date change due to the Grammy's. I apologize for the confusion. They have footage from inside the operating room, recovery after the surgery, interviews with doctors and the interview with Shaun and me. The segment they did last year was great and I expect this one to be even better!

Television Debut!

My segment for global was on the air yesterday! You can watch it here online. Just click on Episode 167 (03/07/10). We feel it turned out really well and they portrayed our situation with respect and truth. Shaun stole the show and certainly brought home the severity of the situation. Don't worry though, that wasn't me having the surgery. Gross. I hope people will understand the message about organ donation and also understand the benefits of the artificial heart.
