Freak's Friday before the Austin Peay game, admittedly off topic thread

[IndianaVol]

Thank you. Long story short, she lost her bladder in 2018, and has had constant infection since. They use part of your bowel to do everything after removing the bladder, and with her, the bacteria goes straight to her kidneys. There's some Drs at Keck medical center at the university of Southern California who are going to try to help. If nothing goes wrong, she's going to be the first ever bladder transplant patient. They're going to undo the current setup, and give her a new bladder. It's risky, but we're at a point of desperation. Worse case, they said they can fix her, but they want her to get a bladder, and be normal again.

Prayers sent Joe!!!
I actually work.for a large med device maker that is top of the game in the urology space and we have been keeping a close on true bladder transplants...my deepest hope that she is the first, or one of the first, and all goes well !!!

That's awesome, and we appreciate it. This has all been surreal, we have a zoom meeting with them Wednesday, and will fly out for a couple of days sometime after that. They said they'd like to do it in the next couple of months if possible.

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. I sincerely pray your dad, and you can find comfort. My best friend is still my best friend, I couldn't imagine.

Thanks Joe.

@Freak With the game on SECN+ will you have a recording up tomorrow? I won’t be able to watch due to a conflict, and I was hoping I’d be able to just hide my phone and watch your replay later that night.

That’s the plan.

Just returned from the TVA&I Fair where we got to see 38 Special.

That’s the plan.

Thanks man. Much appreciated. You were lightning fast last week, ha. Thinking I’ll be able to hold off long enough and silence my phone to not have anything spoiled if I’m lucky

If you have espn app on your smart TV you can watch it there because you pay for SEC network

Attending tomorrows game with AP. Have not been to a TN game since the Butch years. Taking my daughter, son-in-law and grandson. This will be my grandson’s first game! He is 11 years old. I am happy to have three generations in attendance.

I forgot that was this weekend. I had thought about checking that out myself. How was it?

It was good. The last time I went to see them, it was 78/79 at the coliseum, and, iirc, they were the warmup band for Blackfoot and the Outlaws.

Went and scouted Boo and Goree tonight. Headed to K town for my fave Connors then on to game 1.

How'd they look?

And I love Connors. Can't go wrong there.

 

[Volfan1000]

I'm also looking forward to those. Ole Miss at Tulane, Texas A&M at Miami and (if you can stay up late enough) Auburn at Cal are also watch-worthy, IMO.

Texas against Alabama should be a barn burner.

Seriously? I live in northeast Georgia, don't really know Woodstock football, but I would've assumed they were good just because of the size.

At Bristol Rhythm and Roots having a great time minus the T-Storms. Looking forward to Texas beating bama tomorrow. Go Vols!

 

[orangeblooded2]

Not planning on attending.Will be listening to the vol network. Aggravating the neighbors with my mini Neyland atmosphere. And enjoying smoked ribs, corn and enthusiast friends. Go VOLS.

 

[KINGSVOL]

Well, it's 9am In The Netherlands, which is where I am, so I'll get the game on Sunday, sometime. Brought "Orange Glory" with me and plan on posting some pics in prominent places!!!!
