PITTSBURGH -- AIDS activist, author and playwright Larry Kramer underwent liver transplant surgery and was listed in serious condition Monday.
Kramer's doctors said his condition was improving and was about where it should be after the 12-hour surgery Friday.
Kramer, 66, spent seven months on the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's waiting list. He moved to Pittsburgh in early November to wait for an organ to become available. While many transplant centers oppose the surgery for HIV-positive patients, UPMC's Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute has performed 10 liver transplants on HIV-positive patients since 1997. Eight of the patients have survived. Kramer's HIV has been relatively well controlled, but he suffered from end-stage liver failure caused by hepatitis B.
He's a queer duck, that's for sure...
Not that you're a queer, Peep. You told us about being ‘married’ and all. And we all believe you, shur nuff. It’s just your goofy ideas that are queer
I wonder if his delay in getting back to me means that he's getting a proposal, together with a nice fat certified check, cobbled up for my approval?
I hope so! Daddy wants a Hummer!
Wrong side of town, dead of night, DWSUWF standing in puddle of light from a street lamp, looks at watch, adjusts circa 1940 Fedora, puts hands in pocket, begins whistling 'Waltzing Matilda', turns and walks away...
Oh yeah... Kicks human liver away from homosexual drug abuser laying in gutter who almost had his hands on it...
And I just took an Advil to get my headache under control so I could keep playing with him/her/it...
Peep? Can you hear me? PEEP!
You owe me for that Advil caplet you bastard!
Yikes... That gives me the willies.
I flashed to this image of a sweating young man, with nancy-boy glasses, stuffed like a pale sausage into a tutu too small by half to fit, crouching between a couple of minivans in a shopping center parking lot, wincing with pain, with his left hand massaging his throbbing liver and his right hand clutching a straight razor...
Jeez...
I hope that's just the Advil and hot cocoa talking...
It sounds like Bo Peep may have a different "proposal" in store for you.
After reading through this thread, I'm convinced he has a "crush" on you.
He reminds me a girl in high school who was constantly telling other guys such things as "stop that", "you wouldn't do that", "you selfish pig", etc..... The thing I couldn't figure out (at that time) was why the girl kept hanging around these guys. It took me awhile to figure it out, but it was because she liked them.
Bo Peep is behaving in a similar manner to a high school girl.
Yeah...
Thanks Mulder...
With this flu I was going to be tossing and turning as it is tonight. Now I'm going to be dreaming about being stalked by my own private internet lover-boy with an interest in organ harvesting.
Oh yes...
I'm lookiing forward to that.
I'm going to defer to your judgement on this...
I agree that Peep does have a very definite 'style'. There's a bland, almost asexual quality to even his insults and the weird way he repeats questions is distinctive as well.
I imagine 'HAL' the computer's voice in '2001' when I read Peep's stuff here.
“Dave? What’s wrong Dave? Why can’t my father have your liver Dave? That’s wrong Dave...”
