I was down and couldn't do anything about it and in 2001 I had a lung transplant. Then I got to where I could get out and do things and I just decided to do it one day.

Surfers with cystic fibrosis had fewer lung exacerbations.

The doctor came in and said a transplant would be the best thing for her. I told him we would do whatever he says is best.

She was a diabetic and she had had a kidney transplant. She was a wonderful lady, and she would do whatever she could for you.

Boredom, after all, is a form of criticism.

We had to swim underneath the door jams to get outside, where we clung to the gutters. We made our way to the back of the house and clung to the magnolia tree out there.
