Thanks!
« on: July 23, 2013, 01:26:21 PM »
On July 11th I donated a kidney to my father.  Both of us are doing great!  I just want to take a minute to express my gratitude to the contributors of this forum.  Over the last 6 months I have read and re-read many posts.  Almost every question I had leading up to the surgery was answered here.  In short, this forum had me much more prepared, both physically and mentally for this wonderful journey.

With much appreciation,
Sean

Thanks everyone!  The support on here is really special.  I will indeed keep my eye on the board and hopefully be able to contribute here and there.
