Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Oh, What an ordeal! How did you ever manage grocery shopping after all that? You are a plugger. Sincerely hope things get better for you. I am still at 18% function so I'm not too close to dialysis yet, but I surely dread the prospect.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 ! NOTHING about your dialysis has gone easy has it? I think you are a case where everything that can go wrong will go wrong? I really just hope you can get your kidney soon so you don't have to struggle with dialysis like you have been. I am praying for you!
