NBA player Danilo Gallinari and I have something in common...

[Hector]

I had emergency gallbladder removal surgery in 8-8-88.

Denver Nugget's Danilo Gallinari was born in 8-8-88.

The ages almost matched as well, I was 26 when I had the surgery, and he's 24 right now.

The point of this thread besides the matching dates in common?

I'm old, damn...

Oh. I thought you were saying your gall bladder somehow metastasized into Gallinari.

Because, that would be crazy.

No gall bladder can get that big...

My cousin Kurt, who recently passed away, was born on 8-8-80, and turned 8 on 8-8-88. We had a huge party on his 8th birthday. He was born with a very rare heart defect and they said he would probably not live to see 3 years of age. He passed away last year, just shy of 32. He was on his second heart and third set of lungs when he contracted transplant lymphoma, a common cancer that develops from long term use of organ rejection medication. He was one of the most remarkable people I've ever known, so you share that date with a couple of famous people.

Not at all. Still tough at times but we had way longer with him than we ever thought we would have.

The nuggets are on a Rampage...13 in a row, and damn near unstoppable at home. Gallinari is one of those reasons. Denver is waaaaaayyyyyy overdue for a basketball Championship.
