Fingers, toes, and nutsack crossed that it will be soon and this time
all will work out. I've kept up on the transplant science (got
interested when Chan's dad was waiting for a lung), and it's gotten
solid, but still you never know about the donor until you look.
I've got my fingers crossed for you. My mother (79) just had a heart
valve (defective since birth) replaced with (of all things) a cow's
valve, and she's doing well. (Why a cow's valve? Well, they gave her
a choice: Pig, Sheep, Cow, or Mechanical. Mechanical was out, it
would've meant anticoagulants for the rest of her life, not a good
thing. Dunno why she picked cow...)
Thanks for posting the updates. I keep meaning to re-enable the list,
but we are busy as hell getting ready to sell the house and move.
