Good morning!

I am going to deal with the aiptasia today and order a tuxedo urchin because this hair algae is getting BAD.
Good morning! Don't be scared of the juice. Just seriously wear protection since there are zoas on the rock.

Sooo...Monday I'm going to be at the hospital from 9-3 for 5 days a week. For 2 months. I'll be fine. Caught it just in the nick of time shall we say.
I’ve got you in my prayers!
 
Don't be sad. It's really ok. Misfit toys just sometimes need a little stitch here and there.
Not a stitch but a few staples put this misfit toy back together.

aortic repair?
I was diagnosed with primary sclerosing choliangitis when I was 24, the doctor said there was no treatment and in 5-10 years I would need a transplant. I made it to 49yo but when it hit me it was like being hit by a Mac truck.spent 2 years in and out of the hospital, kidney failure, dialysis. The autoimmune disease put me at a 70% risk of cholagiocarcinoma. Found out 10 after my transplant the pathologist found stage two in my liver they removed. 6 months chemo. My poor wife.

Wow. I'm glad you're here. I guess in a weird way, it was a blessing in disguise.

Ya, I was on the transplant list for 2 years. I was in for over two months my last stint. I was taken off the transplant list 3 times because I was to critical and they felt I wouldn’t survive surgery. I had a doctor tell me after the transplant that he was really pulling for me but never thought I was going to make it.
