Hi BFG and welcome to IHD.  I'm so glad you found us.  Seven sons?  WOW!  Sounds like you need to stick around. 

Are you on one amount of medication for both transplants?

Seven sons... How cool:)  Like your description of the wife hitting the eject button, I have never heard that one before (sorry she did that to you).  What kind of biking?  Motorcycle or petal?
