Hopefully "the heart of it all" can get there shit together. On the otherhand, the low interest credit card it a good idea for now...I hope it all works out!

That darn brain in my head doesn't seem to be on it's "A" game anymore. This part is exciting "The promise for this therapy is so great that clinical trials of pig-to-human islet xenotransplantation began last year in Russia, and they will soon start in the United States." because if I read that right that means human trials and that's exciting because that means there will be two different cures in the human trial stage. I've got my fingers crossed.
