Hi Art, I read your note about them telling you that you would not be able to donate. I understand this must be very upsetting, but the important thing is that you are well. I am a true believer in if one door closes another opens. You are such a…

Wow Art!! The thinners will deal with the clot very soon, and your tx will be on the way. You are definitely a strong person, and modern medicine improves daily. I have read so many success story's since I became a member, about tx friends that…

Hi Mike, I trained for about two and a half months before the ride. I rode five or six days a week for about 120 to 175 mile each week. It was a lot of work but worth it. I enjoy jazz but really like the blues. What do you think is the best blues…

Hey Mike ; We must have had traveling on our minds during February, I was in Acapulco. You were three blocks west of my jazz spot Andy's, next time you are in town check it out (if you like jazz). Peace

Hey Mikey, thanks for the nice comments about my family, they are a good looking bunch. The buegill were all about a pound apiece and we caught about 75 over that weekend, they were mighty tasty. My dog does let sit on the couch if I want to.…

Profile Information

Are you a member of http://TransplantBuddies.com ?: Yes, yes

How has transplantation changed your life? If Yes, please share.: No, but I am in the process of becoming an altruistic kidney donor. I started this in November of 2008 and am nearing the end. It looks as though I could be the start of a three person donor chain. I am going for my second work up on 01/28/10.

I understand this must be very upsetting, but the important thing is that you are well. I am a true believer in if one door closes another opens. You are such a giving person maybe you are now meant to give in another way. We never know what life holds for us until we look back at it years later and say wow who knew that this disappointed would bring me to where I am now. We never know what act of simple kindness has on others, I think you have much kindness in you so maybe there are many lives you will touch in a different unexpected way. Wishing you the best. Rita

I have read so many success story's since I became a member, about tx friends that were born with serious problem, and it causes me to feel a shame of my life style.
Based on what I have been reading the Miami tx center is one of the top facility in the nation, perhaps they can offer you some alternatives.
At any rate, I got your back. Stay in touch, the Bluegills needs population control and they are sooooo afraid of you.

Buddy Guy's Legends, is good, also Kingston's Mines (2548 N. Halsted ) is equally as good. Their both about the same distance from Harry's only Buddies is South and Kingston is North, check out both.
Have a good time!

Those are nice size Bluegills! I live in Tinley Park. Illinois and did a lot of fishing on the Mississippi on the Illinois/Iowa border. Just had my 1st. new Liver birthday Valentine's Day 2009 and recently became a member of Transplant Buddies.
You have a good looking family, when did you buy the dog a couch!
Peace
