Woooohoooo! Excellent news.
Keep on trucking til the new one arrives fett, and best of luck with the process once you get the call. We want updates from the post-op bed!

Your situation still sounds pretty terrifying to myself, someone who has never had to deal with anything even remotely like this, but this is indeed awesome news! :D

Maybe I'll write a book.
I'd be interested in reading it, for one.

I call dibbs on the old heart! Got any other parts You don't want?
I know, there are downsides, but you will have so much more energy. You will feel reborn, well, reborn like a shucked oyster. Just remember not to laugh while you knit back together. Stay away from Queue. Actually that's good advice anyway. I swear I forgot when my stepfather in law got a bypass and said something that cracked him up and he laughed and then cried and then told me he was going to kill me and I told him not if I killed him first which probably wasn't the right thing to say because he laughed again. Anyway man, this is just the parachute so enjoy the freefall in the meantime. Visit Vermont in the fall and enjoy the smell of burning leaves and rolling hills and then visit south Boston and enjoy the smell of burning rolled up leaves. Is all good.
I'm sure you don't need it but I'll soak a dove heart in virgin piss and bury it during the next full moon for you.

By the way, I AM blogging about this whole thing (yeah, I know...) if anyone's interested in reading what actually might become part of a book later. (

Hey, as long as fett can still fornication in sin of the Lord, I'm thrilled!
... and I say we barbecue the old heart with some of Emeril's special seasoning. BAM! Good eats.
(... and quit bogarting all the virgin piss, Tocky. Poppa needs the wet his whistle.)

Wonderful news! :)

Good to hear you'll be with us awhile longer now! Just being alive is a gift that is way too easy to take for granted.
Now Fett's going to be awful sentimental regarding love and art.

Great news, fett! I hope you'll be around for many years for your family and friends and us people here, and to make me slightly uncomfortable by painfully criticizing my religion some more ;). Be sure to post gruesome pictures of your wounds and scars when the transplant has been completed!

So most of you guys were around when I posted about needing a transplant back in '10 and your outpouring of support and love was so helpful during that dark time.
I wasn't paying enough attention to see it - at least there is hope at this point. Say hello to the White Mountains for me if you head up that way...

Nothing but the best wishes for you and your family. Illnesses of this type wear on everybody. My wife died of Cancer in 2010, so I know the strain that you must be under and I'm glad you made the list. Good luck, and live long after the transplant.
Clearly I missed that as well - belated condolences.
I missed Zaccheus passing away too, so this may give me a full set of serious member events from the last few years...
