Lung transplant committee votes yes!

Now I can exhaaaaaaaaaale! :)
I'll be on the list as soon as the insurance companies give the okay. It's already been pre-approved, so there shouldn't be any issues, it's just a matter of waiting I don't know how long.

Jim,
I'm so happy and relieved for you!
I've been reading your blog for quite a while now and was so saddened to read about your recent health issues. I've been thinking of you all day and am so happy to hear all is a go (or almost a go). Insurance should be a piece of cake after all you have been through recently.
What a wonderful Christmas gift.

:D awesome. On a note similar to bobbie's, I found your blog courtesy of a friend who is also fighting cancer tooth-and-nail. Originally became interested in your politics but when you posted about your health, it just made me want to check in here more often -- hits close to home in many ways.
Congrats and keep up the fight.

I'm glad for you, congrats!
Somehow "I told you so" just doesnt quite cut it.
