Stjepan Lizacic says he was a manly lumberjack until doctors saved his life and made him a laughing stock.
The 56-year-old Croatian claims he started "enjoying housework and knitting" after doctors replaced his pickled and diseased kidney with a female kidney. Instead of enjoying a night of heavy drinking with his pals, Lizacic now prefers housework.
"The kidney transplant saved my life, but they never warned me about the side effects,'' the lumberjack told his local paper. "I have developed a strange passion for female jobs like ironing, sewing, washing dishes, sorting clothes in wardrobes and even knitting."
Lizacic, who is suing his doctors, claims the only person happy with his new attitude is his wife.
"I do most of the housework now, and I blame the hospital that transplanted me the kidney of a 50-year-old woman instead of a man's kidney," he said.
Radmila Lizacic may be happy, but she's also worried. "If the new feminine side to him is confined to housework I am very happy," she said. "I only hope he doesn't start looking at other men."
This is like a comedy version of The Hands of Orlac.
LOL! But really, could this be a side effect of the anti-rejection drugs?
Aww, sounds like he needs a psychotherapist...
Wow, my wife could use a kidney like that.
Maybe he watched the Golden GLobes. Have you noticed on all the news reports, they show Reese Whitherspoon, and not the gay cowboys, Capote or the Tramsamerica Transexual? They're making her the face, because I think they've scared themselves, going to fast and far this time.
Chorus : I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.
I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.
Mounties : He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars?!
Chorus : I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.
I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Mama.
I'ma lumberjack
and I'm okay I sleep all night and I knit all day.

I've seen a lot of shows on Discovery Health about researchers looking into 'genetic memory' and how some can be passed on during transplants. They had one guy who had a heart transplant, prior he had 0 musical ability, and after the transplant, had the desire and quickly learned to play the piano, almost like a savant.
Or even the NY Times...
Do you blame them.. I would rather see Reese over the others any day of the week.
True lumberjack work is much harder than housework.. BUT really the man ought to lay off the Vodka.. his brain is pickled too.. Vodka can make you ignert..
Actually, I've read this is not all that unusual among organ recipients. We are complex beings and I'm not at all sure that we should be monkeying in this area.
LOL.
"I have developed a strange passion for female jobs like ironing, sewing, washing dishes, sorting clothes in wardrobes and even knitting."
Is he looking for work?
The Onion was TOTALLY going to be my guess. :)
"I have developed a strange passion for female jobs like ironing, sewing, washing dishes, sorting clothes in wardrobes and even knitting"
Well, tough tooties! Deal with it..and they aren't "female jobs" either. You are married, help out your wife and qwityerbitchin. You got a new lease on life. You got a kidney ahead of some 50,000 others who are on the waiting list. STHU and accept it and live your life.
I can't wait to see how his judge rules. What a crock!
