I 'm originally from Toronto, just down the street from ya! ;)

I've spent numerous weeks in Ottawa, years ago, when I used to play music for a living.
Carleton University comes to mind, and Sparks street. Drinkin' wine from a brown bag under the bridge with the street folk. Happy memories. :beer1;

Glad you've joined us!

love

:welcomesign; Peter. Are you planning on having a fourth transplant?

If I can find a living donor, yes. I will probably do a forth. I refuse to stay on dialysis forever, or the 5 - 10 year wait for a cadaver.

As for a wealth of information, yeah, I probably have some. I had complications after my third that never really went away, so I've never really had any "free time" away from doctors etc in the past few years.

Post by: Laurie on June 08, 2007, 08:46:27 PM: That's great. I hope you can find a living donor. I am 27 and have been on the transplant list for only a month. I am also hoping to find a living donor.
Best of Luck :grouphug;
