Hi everyone. Just popping in to say hi. Life is absolutely frantic over in my neck of the woods but everything is fabulous. Dialysis fits in with me rather than the other way around so I have adjusted to it really well. I wish you guys had the option over there to do dialysis at home without a partner - I'm in Australia for those of you who don't know me - it really is almost impossible to kill yourself so you are pretty safe doing it on your own! I generally do my dialysis when there isn't anyone around and I actually prefer it. My time. I almost look forward to having the three hours a day to myself. I still work while I am on the machine but I almost like the fact I am strapped to the machine so I have a good excuse not to keep running around doing things in the house. I do shorter hours more often and it really suits me. I have never felt better.
So I will have to have a look around and see what you are all up to. I am working 24/7 building the business but it is going so well I just don't have time to be sick. None of my new staff even know I am on dialysis and that is the way I intend to keep it for now. I am sure they will eventually find out because all my friends know and I am sure one of them will let it slip but for now everything is pretty normal.
If it weren't for my health I wouldn't have taken any of the risks I am taking at the moment so dialysis has been kind to me from that point of view. I have done things in business that I would never have done if I were well because I have this massive drive to achieve what I need to and quickly. Any obstacles just become a massive challenge and it makes me even more determined, hence business is booming.
Anyhow, love to you all and I will try and pop in more often.
Love, Cindy. xxx

Good to hear from you. Things are going much beter than you anticipated.. that is awesome. What about the pain you had in your hands? has that subsided or are you being treated differently for that. If you ever want a good man around you can pick me or Richardmel although I already know you would pick me. :rofl; I am glad things are going well Cindy.

Hi Cindy,
I am happy to hear from you!!
I recall how reluctant you were to starting dialysis and look how far you have come! You are a great inspiration for people who think dialysis is the end of living. Best wishes to you in whatever you tackle!
