- I required a liver tx after having Hep C for 20 years. My first tx was a "domino" tx where the living donor required a new liver and I got hers. A blood clot developed with that liver and within a week I received a second tx from a deceased donor. I am forever grateful to all involved.

I want to wish you a happy birthday. I see birthdays as a celebration of life and living so in our case birthdays are extra special so go out there and celebrate the day you came to be. Actually we have two birthdays, our biological one and the one I like to call our “Re-birthday”. Have a wonderful day.
Haven't been riding as much as I like because it's too COLD! (I'm such a wimp.) Anyway, I was in the Treasure Island Tri by doing the bike leg of the relay. It was lots of fun!
Merry Christmas to you and Julia!
