I check in at the U of M Medical Center tomorrow and Isaac and I will have surgery early Wed morning for the transplant.

If everyone can keep Isaac in your thoughts over the next few days that he does well with surgery and that his body does well to not reject... That would be awesome.
Hey man, we trade comments back and forth, so what, but Sears as Rowbuck man I hope you and the short person make out just A OK......

And besides you can pizz enough vinegar without a kidney anyways.....

Wow, a Jackyl thread that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

I wish I knew you, that's one hell of a thing to do.

BTW, if the doc screws up, there is going to be alot of box kicking and face shooting going on compliments of OT.

It's a good thing you're doing. I gave my old man a kidney when I was 25. I was walking around the day of the surgery.

Aside from the crotch not letting me re-enlist, I have no regrets.

Very thing. My gf is the recipient of a liver and pancreas transplant so I have seen how much it can improve quality of life.

I will be local to you next week. If you need any stupid crap done that you can't do because you're out of commission, please send a PM
