I support your PLOT 100%
I don't know about the next p of a but I wouldn't announce a winner until all the results are in. I've known a few too many premature victory celebrations.
Yes transplants have given hope to so many people - lets hope medical science will continue to smash the barriers ..
Arne this is a great post and gives new hope. My eldest grandson is sixteen and has had a heart condition since the day he was born. I really hope and pray that he will either outgrow his condition or have an operation. It's wonderful Arne, that you and your friends in the picture have had such a successful operation. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful photograph! Smiles so big, success even bigger! I applaud medical science, a standing ovation and hope for bigger and better successes in the future!

Prolongation!! A wonderful P word and a wonderful story.
This is an amazing post! I heartily support organ transplantations along with many of my family and friends.
I hope your predicted p is correct, for all our sakes. Wholeheartedly support organ transplantation. A very personal p post.
Congratulations to you and all the other Organ recipients and a heartfelt thank you to all the Organ donors.
Bear((( )))
I love your word for the day and what it means. Congratulaions to the Doctors and medical science that has given you prolongation of your life.
Organ donation is so important! Let's never forget that!
Sterk lesning Arne.
Har bare lyst til å si; God fornøyelse i kveld :-))
Det er så lærerikt å komme inn til deg, for de fleste innleggene dine er så informative. Kjempeviktig med organdonasjon og ikke minst at verden har kommet såpass langt at man kan utføre slike operasjoner med stor vellykkethet.
Det blir sikkert en flott kveld i kveld, så jeg må bare få ønske deg lykke til.
Klem fra Marit
Og vi ønsker lykke til, til Obama. Wow, det var tøfft at han vant!
and indeed it was p for president obama!
Da er det 25 år siden jeg satt på Blindern i studentkantinen og vi leste Dagbladets omtale av den første transplantasjonen da. Det gjorde stort inntrykk og jeg husker jeg tenkte at cardiologi eller thoraxkirurgi i grunnen hadde vært morsomt å jobbe med. Jeg valgt noe annet da, etterhvert, som jeg er veldig fornøyd med.
Now that's a wonderful photo celebrating life!
Ja, kunne jo ikke irritere meg så over den dansken. Trøstes min, enn om jeg hadde mistet jobben min du!!
Lagt ut intern informasjon på nettet, måte på eksternt også da...
Men når sant skal sies ryktes det jo i nærmiljøet i alle fall.
Føler at "pasientene våre" de som føles opp her, renner ut og forsvinner ut gjennom mine fingre som fin sand. De ser ingen hensikt i å komme tilbake til den "dansken".
Vel... adminsitrasjon skjønner ikke at en mann med to doktorgarder fantisk kan være en reinhekla idiot når det gjelder og forholde seg til mennesker. Nesten så man kunne ønske seg et lite vitnemål for sosial intelligens også når man jobber i dette vesenet.
Vel... back to work!!
og takk for at du lyttet...
Men her må man jo det enten man vil eller ikke :-)))
Jeg håper du feiret slik an ledningen var verd. Jeg skulle vørt der - men slik går det ikke alltid.
Virkelig noe verdt å feire,håper dere hadde en fin kveld.
It is good to see that there is hope and it is good to remind people starting a chance beeing an organ donor.
Say hallo to all this wonderful people you know working in living in this alliance.
Hilsen Hartmut
Now we can indeed start celebrating after the fireworks.
