Thanks for the link. In the middle of all the day to day, we sometimes lose sight of the progress in medical science and simple power of human spirit.

I attended the 1992 Transplant Olympics in Los Angeles.  When I had my transplant.  It was fun.  Back then everyone had puffy cheeks and thick eye brows.  Classic signs of prednisone.

 :clap;  That's great Rerun. I am sure it was a lot of fun. Did you compete? 

At the moment all that I could compete in would be an eating competition!    :rofl; :rofl;    8)  I blame the Prednisone!
