Post by: pelagia on March 03, 2009, 07:31:49 PM: Oh Zach, what can I add to all of this? How about YOU ROCK!

Seriously, you are the first person I "encountered" when I found and searched IHD. I was desperately looking for ways to get my husband healed from his double nephrectomy and to help him handle his abrupt introduction to dialysis. I found your posts, and they were truly beacons of wisdom and clarity. And eventually I learned that you are funny and talented, too. 8)

Thank you for being an important part of the IHD family!

Post by: kristina on March 04, 2009, 02:21:04 PM: Dear Zach, thank you for your kindness to read my diet and pointing out to me how much protein and calories etc I need. It was quite an inspiration and very much appreciated because I try so hard to survive. Thank you also for generally pointing out to us how important it is to be precise. Thank you and good luck with everything. Kind regards from Kristina: schmidt56@yahoo.co.uk

Post by: twirl on March 04, 2009, 02:29:17 PM: the second before I read this I was thinking if my 4 years on dialysis was about as much as I will get and then I read this thread.
YOU ARE THE MAN
and last but not least --- you are good looking :-*
Title: Re: Tribute to Zach's 27th Anniversary
Post by: Bajanne on March 04, 2009, 02:35:29 PM: Sorry to be coming in so late. But I have to tell you how much you have been appreciated. I am sorry for the condition that brought you to IHD, but at the same time we would have been much poorer without your presence. I think of you as the voice of reason on this website!
Here's to many more years and much more contribution to our IHD family :wine;

Post by: Jill D. on March 08, 2009, 06:15:23 PM: Zach, you were one of the first people that I "met" when I signed on 2 1/2 years ago. You are a wonderful example of how it is possible to truly take control and responsibility of your own health issues. You are knowledgeable about ESRD, treatment and proper diet. Until I met you, i never would have believed that someone could live their life on dialysis and have such a successful career and fulfilling life. You never judge people, you are always helpful and encouraging. I hope we get to meet someday; I hold you in the highest regard! Thank you for being here!!!
