1) to hear the transplant process for you Aegon has been a success!

and

2) to hear from Poca so we know he is safe from the the huge fire raging in Portugal!

*runs off to check up on Poet's status*

So in addition to minding the gap when entering or exiting the tube, now there is one more thing to mind while out and about.  Do look both ways please, and mind that there is a gap between you and any madman in a truck.

Oh... I'm not in London.... this is more countryside, so not a lot of reasons for some madman to go nuts on pedestrians.


But we both know what you mean, you sly old man!

Cool beans. Saw a lot of beautiful countryside back in 2009 during my one and only trip to England.

Apparent good news on NBC News today:

by simultaneously administering the approved 12 week treatment regimen for Hep C with a kidney transplant from a Hep C donor/cadaver, 10 out of 10 trial cases came out fine, functioning kidney and no Hep C transmission.

Not mentioned, but I'm a worry wart, is the long term use of anti-rejection drugs going to be an issue? Idunno . . .

Still, NBC noted, 1000 kidneys a year will be available with this protocol.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

All immunosupressant drugs have the same long term side effects: higher chances of getting infections and cancers. My mom, who got a transplant when she was younger (ironically for a different kidney disease than I did) has gotten multiple skin cancers over the years.

But she was also taking Immuran, an anti rejection med that is no longer commonly used. I think that one had a higher risk for cancer.

If I needed a heart I'd rather have a Hep C heart (and the treatment) than Pat Robertson's heart unless I also relieved Pat's anus and rectum . . .

Oh Lordy, Pat is gonna have some 'splainin' to do when reports start filtering into heaven about what I'm doing with his po-po.
