*backs into corner in fetal position* safe warm place, safe warm place!

Is it really that bad?? When I was pregnant I was insas..insationable? uh ya i was wanting it constantly... which i found odd.
All u people with significant others, that get tx, are going to be set! what about poor single folk like myself??? (ok, yes i am aware of... ways but some people, like myself, arent into those ways! lol) guess i need to stock up on batteries  :bandance;

Started propanol today to try and control elevated blood pressure and raised thyroid levels and maybe calm me down a little.
In reality all it seems to have done is give me the shakes...

Somebody should start a speed-dating service for organ transplant patients.

If we could only get the single female organ transplant patients together with the single male organ transplant recipients. 

(That last phrase should be parsed as "single male organ transplant recipients," not as "single male organ transplant recipients.")
