For Anyone Who Gives a Hurray
I had my transplant today all you suckers who give a flip or care. I can't believe I writing in this fog of recovery. Just wanted to say hello.

I'll give a hurray or two for you. Wish you as speedy a recovery as is possible.
I'll also give a hurray. I hope your transplant is effective.
Hang in there dude, I was wondering where you have gone. Hello back to you!
Congrats, TG, hope all goes well in your recovery! Take care of yourself, man, and collect a few hugs from your family on our behalf.

Yaaaaa Baby! It's good to hear from you, brother!
Keep up the good fight, and your spirits high, dude!
You're an inspiration!

What transplant is this, and what are you recovering from?
That is great news, TG. Hope the story keeps going that way for you.
I can only think of my one experience 'under the knife', for an appendectomy, in a potentially serious condition, waking up unable to move, as the anaesthetic wore off...
Pity God made such a hash of our 'design', that our dedicated medicos and surgeons have to work so hard to make up for His crappy workmanship.

Me too. I only saw a feeble update on caposkia vs tgb, but, I thought, this boy is always so talkative, what's happening.. and then this.
I hope this helps tremendously for you. You are an inspiration. And yes, we do give a hurray.

I was getting worried so I called Northside hospital in Atlanta, TGBaker is well and actually going through physio when I called, he asked me to call back after the physiotherapy, I plan to. He said he couldn't wait to get home and get online with us.
He is just as talkative on a phone has he is online so if anyone else wants to wish him luck, try the Northside Hospital, Atlanta,Rm447.
I'm not sure of the morality of pulishing the exact number? Anyone????

who is the one nearest to tgb? Apparently I should travel 7500 km.
That's really good to know, I was actually worried after not hearing from him for so long. Thank you for looking in on him, tell him we can't wait to have him back.

That is really good news. Now let us know when you are really back in fighting shape and I will get the video chat set up so that we can drink single malt together.
Don't worry about it. If Tommy posts the number then fair game. If not, the main number for the hospital is a matter of public record.
Kapkao is about 150 miles (240km) away. About 4 hours on the train. Yes, our trains are that slow.
To be fair, if Tommy wants visitors, he will post here with that.

Oh oh oh... boy, I live in italy, I'm lucky when the train doesn't get cancelled... I took the train for years, 35 minutes for covering 35 Km.

All the best to you and the family.
To TG,
we miss your energetic, informed posts, and hope you are able to come back soon.
But most of all we miss you.
I hope you are continuing to recover to the point you can pick up your life again.

Rich, you can never go wrong with Tull. You can also never go wrong with bagpipes. We really should get together somehow. Now that I am unemployed, my schedule is open.
Let's plan something. The Dakota cafe remains of interest.
