Please keep me in your thoughts. I'm leaving for the hospital now. They found a liver for me.

    Good luck! I've been reading for awhile now without leaving a comment but I really hope things work out with the new liver and I'll anxiously be awaiting a post with some news.
    You'll be in my prayers and thoughts.

    The liver transplant operation was a success, and Palimpsest is recovering in the Intensive Care Unit. More later...

    Palimpsest may have supplied some of you my e-mail address to verify my authenticity here. It is soothfast@comcast.net. She also gave me the e-mail addresses of many of you, and I'll get to using those a bit later when I have the time.

    The person posting a comment above as The Socialist is concerned that he might not be believed because he has not posted here before. Readers here have probably seen me comment on this diary in the past, and Palimpsest has sometimes mentioned me in her entries so I hope it will confirm The Socialist's identity if I vouch for him. I received separate communication from him this morning letting me know about his comment here, and I can verify it is indeed him.

    A great adventure starts for you - not many people have a second chance to grasp life and run with it again. I hope everything works out to perfection (even if it takes time) and that whatever dreams you had before your transplant that are left to come true - well, I hope ALL of them do!

    A googolplex of thanks for these well-wishes! I think I'll print them up and send them to Palimpsest when I visit her again tomorrow.

    Haven't had a chance to send or read any e-mails, so if any of you are waiting, just hang on a little longer.

    All is going superbly. There are no signs of rejection and all vital signs are as good as can be after such a surgery as this. With luck she'll be home again in 10 days, though that is not guaranteed. She seemed surprised by the number of comments her last, brief entry evoked.

I too am goosebumpy, which is saying something since it is 80 degrees in here! As usual, I am a day late and a dollar short, but know that my belated thoughts are with you and your recovery process. May everything go amazingly well.

    Oh good, I am glad she is doing great post-op, that is wonderful news! I am keeping my fingers crossed that she is able to be released in 10 days.
    Reading all the comments has been very uplifting. I am especially pleased to see lots of comments from names I am not familar with as well as the usual gang.
    Get Well Soon Sal!
    We miss you!
