Shane had a heart transplant and has had trouble with rejection. It looked like he had it whipped for the last year or so. He had been battling anemia also, which was brought on by the anti-rejection drugs. Search THR for threads started by Labgrade, there's a huge one in there somewhere. Shane and his wife live near Crystal and have two kids, the oldest of which is sixteen and a member of THR also. His handle is "sixstring"
Grampster, mom's spirits are good, which is what the doctor said was important. He wants her start getting around on her own and the sooner she does that, the better her chances for a successful surgery in eight weeks. We'll go visit her tomorrow. We have found a couple of therapy centers locally, so she won't have to go to a nursing home until she can take care of herself. She will have to leave the hospital soon because the insurance won't pay for it much longer.
