Happy New Year to Andy, Mine was on the 9th of February, its strange to wake up with "your transplant was successful, you might last a couple of months, you are immunised against your new heart if you have any trouble call me". That was after we were atom bombed on the 6th.

An excellent idea, Guy! I´ll start searching my images right away. I´ve been busy/lazy lately, but this is important! No, it can´t be kept a surprise for Andy, of course, but I don´t think that really matters. What DOES matter, now that he knows (I assume he´s already read Guy´s post) is that we all do our very best, so it won´t be a half-hearted gesture (not that I fear there´s any real risk for that...), but a real, strong expression of our support for Andy, and our appreciation for what he´s done, and keeps doing, for us all!
