PITTSBURGH -- AIDS activist, author and playwright Larry Kramer underwent liver transplant surgery and was listed in serious condition Monday.
Kramer's doctors said his condition was improving and was about where it should be after the 12-hour surgery Friday.
Kramer, 66, spent seven months on the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's waiting list. He moved to Pittsburgh in early November to wait for an organ to become available. While many transplant centers oppose the surgery for HIV-positive patients, UPMC's Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute has performed 10 liver transplants on HIV-positive patients since 1997. Eight of the patients have survived. Kramer's HIV has been relatively well controlled, but he suffered from end-stage liver failure caused by hepatitis B.
Build such a system and the donors will come!
Yes, and we all know who Bo Peep dreams about......
I can roll with the punches...
You're saying he dreams about me, right?
OK...
That's sort of like a compliment. It means that he finds me witty... urbane... a beautiful mind.
It's a wonderful thing, being desired by someone who raises goose bumps on you. exciting... different...
Oh crap, this isn't working...
Yeah, that's right.
When you get to a certain point of old, sick, boogered-up-ness, you back into the corner and decide to make that last stand here... now...
Unknown to DWSUWF, the teenagers participating in the Boy's Club scavenger hunt had decided to wear Halloween costumes... "Look what I have Skip!" Chip said to his friend Skipper as he brandished the plastic straight razor. "I'll bet we can throw a scare into old man (deleted) with this baby!" The boy guided his jalopy off the pavement onto the country lane at the same instant DWSUWF took the ancient pump shotgun down from the rack and began to load it...
It was a group effort...
Good for you!
LOL!
Never finished High School, I see.
You can’t 'lie' without a conscious intent to do so, Peep. When I goof on you that's not a 'lie', that's just me goofing on you. Grow up.
"...and spout such nonsensical opinions on political and social issues without any incurring any consequences..."
See, there's that liberalism bubbling up again...
You'd be more comfortable in a world where people had to get your 'approval' before speaking, wouldn't you?
Keep talking nonsense like this and I'll be wondering if Roman salutes and clicking heels make your panties wet.
Hey Peep...
If we were the Odd Couple, which of us would be Felix Unger, and which would be Oscar Madison?
I wish I could program my computer to play the orchestra riff from the shower scene in 'Psycho' when Peep replies to one of my posts...
That, or the theme from ‘Jaws’.
