Title: After a year
Post by: GoingThere on November 21, 2011, 10:10:56 AM

Hi!

I's been awhile sice my last post on IHD. Well, I'm on D now for 16 months and I must admit I feel fine.
I voluntarely switched to 3x5 hours and now considering to do 3x8 hours at night. My labs are great, I still pee.

It's been a very successful year considering profession and sports. Wrote a few articles, had been invited to a prestige conference to lecture, working full time. My employer adjusted schedule according to my availability. Greatful for that! :2thumbsup;

I managed to do 2600 miles with my bike since New Year with around 40 miles elevation gain. Not bad for a D patient, isn't it? :bandance;

I hope my Tx will come soon in the future. I'm glad for your kidney transplant Richard and also for everyone's else too. We are fighters.

P.S.:I switched to buttonhole technique and it does miracles regarding pain and bumps.

AguynamedKim, just to satisfy your curiosit: me and my neph "friend" had intense relationship. We're not together at the moment, but this is not due to D issue.  :shy; She plays an important tole in my life and she is there to give me a comfort when I need it. She is there to shout at me when I feel sorry for myself and I need kick in my butt to star moving :Kit n Stik; And I know she will be there when the call will come.
