Happy Birthday to one of our most respected members. It's been posted in your training log that you're undergoing a kidney transplant, so this is not only a happy birthday, but also a thread to let you know your friends are wishing you well. Hope your family is making a ridiculous fuss around you today. Happy birthday and get well soon.
Damn forgot my (internet) Dad's birthday again. Happy birthday (internet) Dad! And fixed Simon's initial post below...
Thanks everyone! Sorry for the delay. As Simon noted, I celebrated my 44th in the Transplant Unit at Johns Hopkins. I'm home now, and getting stronger every day. (Mind you, "stronger" at the moment means being able to shower unassisted.) It would be tempting to feel sorry for oneself when you "celebrate" your birthday laying in a hospital bed unable to sleep because of all the meds. But hearing from you lot here and on Facebook went a long way toward making that impossible for me. So I thank you profusely. Take care guys. And thanks again. ap
