God love ya, Cord. We appreciate the opportunity to share in this amazing experience.

here's to the breezes…

That's so beautiful. Cord has such character.

Is it bad that all I can seem to think of right now is the Richard Lewis thing from Curb?

Sending all kinds of love and kisses through the ether!

Aw….hope everything goes well for both you and your dad Cord. BTW, what's up with the arrow? It's really random. Is that a tattoo or just something that the docs wrote on you for the surgery?

Cord, you're my hero!

He did it so they'd be sure to take the correct kidney. And it sounds silly but it's really a pretty good safety measure.

Holy Shit! Nice bod! I mean, what a great guy you are.. blah blah blah.

Best of luck to both you and your dad. I hope it all goes well and turns out well in the end. is that really him in that picture?

He does have a good bod. YUM

Cooter it was about time somebody cracked some champagne at this snore fest.

Please, you are just trying to get pageviews upped by Cord's nekkidness.

For real though, reading your accounts, Cord, you dad sounds like a wise and kind man. You have a lot of him in you.

Good luck, Cord! I've been reading your Kidney and the Kingdom site and really enjoying it and hope the best for you and your dad.

P.S. I concur with the others, you are nice to look at.

You have shown the kind of character most people only fake. I hope you and your dad are doing well and recover soon.

Oh, and I like the arrow pointing to the kidney they are supposed to take.

Thank God Cooter did it after you made me snort with the Richard Lewis thing, Sar. Bubbly out the nose isn't fun.

Good luck and speedy recovery to you and your father. Is that heart for us?

Holy shit, Cord! Saying many prayers for you and your dad. You guys are going to be great!!

I heard yesterday on NPR (dont judge me!) that a woman was threatening to sue her doctor because she went into surgery and when she woke up afterwards, she realized he put a temporary tattoo on her hip.

Good for you! That's awesome of you. You may want to also put a note on your torso somewhere reminding them not to leave anything in there. Just in case. I read medical malpractice cases. I'm fun like that.

they don't really make a whole lot of people like you cord. one of a kind. good luck.

Mmmm, me like Cord half naked, but his face should have been included.

Cord- my uncle got a kiddey (typo but I'm leavin it) last year, gifted from his sister…it's amazing what docs can do nowdays! I know we don't always (if ever) agree on anything but please know I'm sending good thoughts to you and your today…good luck!

Zell Kravinsky gave away his kidney. You're in good company.
I have so, so much respect for you, Cord.

Wow. Well, I have to take time out in perusing the gossip blogs to recognize there are real people with real lives behind these harmless escapisms of mine. I have to give you mad props for donating your kidney to your dad. Most people would say, "well, anyone would do it", but whatev … Sorry that your dad ever came in need of your kidney, and I know your dad is glad you're there for him in every way. Speedy recovery to you both.

Speedy recovery to both you and your father, and wishes for long, healthy lives. Bless you.

Best of luck to you both.

I thought you did this in Saudi Arabia or something several months back.

Best of luck and you are so amazing for doing this for your father CJ. I wish you well!

Wow- that's incredibly selfless. Bravo to you and good luck to both you and your dad.

just spoke with him and he is out and is doing well. i am sure he'll write something relatively soon.

Good Luck, Cord, on you and your father's recovery! I commend you, your good people.

God, why are you wasting your time doing stupid shit like donating organs to your loved ones? You are needed HERE. In the land of super important world news.

hooray! he's ok!

THIS — "You have shown the kind of character most people only fake"

- WAS PRICELESS.

Srsly, it needs a commie, because I'll be quoting it for a long time.

You are in my prayers, God Bless.

i wish you and your father a smooth and speedy recovery! will you watch that one simpsons episode where homer donates a kidney to his dad has soon as you feel better?
p.s. arrows or no arrows, feel free to post more shirtless pictures of yourself anytime.

You are an angel <3

Kudos to Cord–a great son! Praying for both of you to have a full and speedy recovery!

seriously, keebler. come to the dark side.

Sending you Texas-Sized wishes for a fast and speedy recovery for you both! You are a class act!

what a wonderful gift. sending healing thoughts to both of you.

I once (only) adored Cord for his insightful writing - now I have an even better reason.

Godspeed to You and your Father.

Best of luck to you both - funny and generous, you may just be the perfect guy!

If this is true, you are one hot bitch….and yes, I can see you are a guy…….

P.S and wishing you both well. Many blessings

All jokes aside, and you do some good commentary, Cord…kudos to you. Pretty selfless act, dude. I'm in awe.

Speedy recovery to you both…lots of long years to enjoy each other's company….now when you say to him "you want a piece a'me?? you can add. hey, wait…"

*g*

I hope you both recover quickly. Truly an amazing experience. Thank you for sharing it.

Bless you, bud.

Best wishes to Cord and his dad & I hope everything goes very very well.

Best wishes to u both! Talented and selfless…..what a great combo

Well hello there, Cord. You're kinda sexy actually, aren't you.

I'm late to the Cordfest, but I hope everything went well for you both, Cord. I know there probably was no question about this for you, but it still takes strength and integrity. It's really great. Take care and may you both recover quickly.

I just got back from holiday, so I would like to wish a belated speedy and painless recovery to both Cord and his father. It is an exceptionally brave and selfless thing Cord is doing. Best wishes to you both.
