I've been on dialysis for six years and I'm doing just fine.  As I get closer to the top of the transplant list I must consider all aspects of transplantation very carefully.  One of the benefits of a transplant is that the drug regimen is the same regardless of how many organs or tissues you get from the cadaveric donor.  I was wondering whether, in addition to the kidney, I could get a hair transplant.  I would be willing to supply the deceased donor with the best quality wig available, which he can keep for eternity.  I think for a change I would like blond, curly hair.  Does anyone know if Simon Baker from The Mentalist rides a motorcycle?

I wouldn't mind that myself.  I miss the long, thick hair that I once had.  It's now short, and very thin, and I have a few bald spots that I'm really good at hiding.  I use one of those shampoos tha's supposed to thicken the hair, but I don't think it works..  my poor head has been sunburned more than once

 :rofl;   This is so funny!   I would love for you to have Simon's hair - he is a cutie!    My thick hair gets thinner and thinner, especially on the top.  My hairdresser keeps giving me tips but I would really just love to have my old body and hair back again.    Thanks for the laugh.  It helps!!   

By the way, I just read your post outloud to my daughter and she was in hysterics over the last sentence.  It is really funny and only people needing a transplant can appreciate this kind of humor.     :2thumbsup;
