A year ago I was selling my car. The guy who came for a test drive ended up smashing into a tree and totaling the car. Unfortunately, I had to use legal action to ask for the amount of the selling price. A few weeks ago I received a phone call from one of Judge Judy’s producers asking if I would be willing to bring the case to Hollywood. I couldn’t believe it! I never thought that it would be possible, but very special arrangements were made with my doctor, transplant team, and the show to make it happen while remaining on the transplant list. Late Monday night we flew to Los Angeles, taped early Tuesday morning and flew home immediately after the show. I can’t share ANY details, but it will probably be aired sometime in the next three weeks to a couple of months. I will be sure to let everyone know!
If one reality show wasn’t enough….We flew home from L.A. last night and this morning we helped our friends kick off remodeling their bathroom on the show Bath Crashers! We helped cheer them on and assisted in the demolition of the old bathroom. We are so excited for our friends, Jay & Kimmy, to get their new bathroom. Can’t wait to see the finished product which should be done in only a few days! I will let you know when that airs too!
After two reality shows in two days, this girl now needs two weeks to recoup! Don’t ever think breathing with twenty five percent lung capacity, wearing oxygen, or waiting for a double lung transplant will prevent you from enjoying life to the fullest!


I love it honey – you’ve always had more energy than 3 people combined! 🙂
