Sorry for the vanity; I tried to send a FReepmail to everyone on my ping lists, but it wouldn't accept multiple names.
Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know that after not posting for several weeks, I'm now back to posting. It's been an "interesting" end of the summer. In August, I was placed on the list for a kidney transplant (not at all unexpected; I've know for several years that I have Polycystic Kidney Disease), and had surgery at the end of August to place an access for dialysis (I'm not on dialysis yet; my kidney function is holding at ~16%). At the end of September, I had emergency brain surgery for a collection of blood between my skull and brain (subdural hematoma). THAT was totally unexpected, but I'm doing well now, and will be going back to work next week. If you sent me a "ping" to send to one of the ping lists that I have, and I didn't send it out to the list, please accept my apologies. I'm just now getting back to my normal routine.

Welcome Back!!!!!
wow it sounds like you have had a rough roe to hoe. welcome back and prayers for your health.
Welcome back!
Hope you get a donor kidney soon. I know much about dialysis and hope it is not in your future.
Best Regards!
Glad to hear your back and with us. Prayers for you that things go well.
Welcome back and I hope things go well. You have reminded us of what is REALLY important in life.
Welcome back! Many prayers for your recovery and continued blessings of good health.
Sorry to hear about all that :(
I hope that it all works out in the end.
Please add me to your kidney list.
BTW, FYI, here are some waitlist numbers:
Organ National
Kidney 62,243
Liver 17,392
Pancreas 1,702
Kidney/Pancreas 2,452
Heart 3,137
Lung 3,601
Heart/Lung 168
Intestine 200
Total 88,388
I think it is terrible that the Federal govenrment prevents contracting for organs in a pro market way. A general rule is that whenever there is a shortage of something people are willing to pay for it is caused by government.
Why shouldn't someone who donates their organs get finacially compensated? Who is the Federal government to condemn all these folks to the wait list. What a shame!
Thank God you're back, and prayers for your recovery to full health.
Happy to see you back BC. I'll say a very special prayer for you.
Prayers Sent
Welcome back and may God be with you and your family....
Glad to have you back and prayers for ongoing recovery!
Hope you are feeling better, and continue to do so.
Everything's the same,
but some folks have decided
that the 'Rats were right
and Bush either sucks
or he's a tricky RINO
fooling everyone.
GW BUSH is a RINO in every way.
I was just thinking about you the other day and I hadn't seen any pings from you. You have been through so much. You are in my prayers, BC! God Bless You
Welcome Back!
It's good to hear from you, BC! I was starting to get a little worried, as I had not heard from you since shortly after your operation. I hope that things settle down a little bit for you soon.
