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.
Hey, I feel bad about jerking you around.
When I told you that you were stalking me (like you're doing here) that's all there was to say on the subject, QED, 'Thus I have shown it', etc., ect.
Telling you that I was 'working on' a definition of stalking like that, when I wasn't at all, was like pretending to throw a bone over the head of a half-blind dog.
Tell you what, you peel off a couple of C-notes and treat yourself to something really nice for New Year's Day.
Your sharpest comment yet.
He's Fit!
He's Tanned!
He's Rested!
Damn it! I need a retro clip art collection...
OK, imagine a minimalist line drawing of a woman's face, pure retro 50's hairstyle, with her balled-up fist shoved halfway into her mouth, other hand on forehead, palm out, fingers splayed, eyes wide with horror...
Cancelled out on party plans because of this flu. (although I'm on the mend now)
I guess I'll sit here and get drunk with my new best friend, the Peepmeister...
LOL! Well, if you have to spend time with a liver troll, I can't imagine doing it while sober.
You're probably not missing much by going to a party anyway. Large groups tend to attract the liberals and collectivists, and I see no benefit to associating with that crowd, except for the occassional smart-ass, "extreme" comments I make that cause most of their mouths to fall wide open.
I get a kick out of seeing their reactions, and even a bigger kick when they realize that I really don't care about their worthless opinions.
LOL!
You've been peeking at my playbook!
Watching 'Pearl Harbor' right now. It's got a little more of a 'chick flick' aspect to it than I like to see in a war movie, but that's the price of admission these days.
Wonder what Peep thinks of 'chick flicks'?
He's probably watching one right now... on the "Lifetime Network"
LOL!
That's name probably already taken (appropriately so) on the many liberal chatrooms peeper visits, so he needs an adjective before "herpes" in order to distinguish.
I'm thinking "stalking herpes", or "liver-loving herpes", or "last word herpes".
Wanted to get started with the Champagne...
Peep, being a control-oriented, liberal kind of guy, would probably object to me PUI (posting under the influence) like this...
C'mon Peep, join the party... You can still watch your movie, and sing 'The wind beneath my sheets' as you enjoy your flick!
