His "birthday" is the 8th Of October I guess in about a day.  I hope it holds up for another 10 easily.  IF some new treatments come up and they can eradicate the virus many of these transplants will see many more years. 

The future looks bright.   Cool

Hank: What a great day it is! Hate to make you the poster boy of successful transplants but will risk saying you really inspire all of us who face the big T.
YIPEE!

Wow!!!!!

Thanks Willy, Robin, Memarcie Wink, and all the rest us Heppers Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

Robin is on her way to begin her journey just as I passed a milestone in my own journey Cool Cool Cool
it's also a scary transition in more ways than I'm presently capable of explaining so, I wo'nt go into a rant about it because, It's too much for me these days to channel my observations into words. Besides, I've got another Welding class to teach in a couple of days Grin Cool Grin Wink Cool Grin

Before you know it Robin, You'll be doing the things you've been wanting to but, were too sick to do before... Look out world!!! Wink Grin Grin Grin

Who knows Willy? It may be very soon where Liver Transplants become a thing of the past for us Heppers!!! 

Thank You all of those TP birthday wishes

Respectfully,
Henry

Praise God! Hank, you de man! Somehow I missed this, or my fried brain forgot it, but man, thats amazing, brother! What an incredible testimonial, and an inspiration for all of the folks facing transplant. I bet you're thanking God every day for the extension you were given in life, what a powerful story.

Whatever it is creating turmoil in your life (that you refrained from going into), I pray it will be smoothed out quickly. Keep faith alive, my brother.

God bless.

Thanks "Dude"
It's always great to recieve praise from "UDEMAN" Grin Grin Wink

I guess I'm just tired of becoming "The Hulk" anymore... however, it can be potentially dangerous if I internalize my frustrations without considering the potential to build up enough pressure internally equivalent to what can be found in commercial nuclear reactors Shocked Shocked Shocked Huh Sad Wink Grin

I'm no longer as malleable as I used to be so, basically I'm starting to reach my own fatigue limits and now perform fitness for service exams on myself so that I do'nt have any critical component fatigue failures like the I-35 bridge up in Minnesota. what I mean Joris is that now I try to detach myself and/or channel these situations similar to when one analyzes designs and structures that are soo much bigger than "ME" Wink Grin Shocked Cool

I know that by embracing this new approach to dealing with people, places, and things may just allow me to potentially make it to my 20th anniversary for which I hope we can all get together and celebrate it!!! Grin Grin Grin Grin Wink Cool Maybe then we'll all be able to toke it up without concern of authority!!! Huh Shocked Shocked Grin Wink Cool

Respectfully,
Henry

Once again
