 :clap;  Wohooo Charee!

I will have my fingers and toes crossed for you. You should feel proud of yourself for the changes you have made and the positive attitude you have had towards your dialysis. I am sure the clinic will see the effort you have made. Remember they will back date you to the day of your first treatment.

oh and give Amanda a BIG hug for me.  :grouphug;  And we want   :pics;  this time!!!    :-*

Well sorry there are no pics We only got to see Amanda and her dad for a very short time she had lots of appointments and we kept getting called in but it was fantastic to see her and give her a hug she is looking really well ,now on to me i passed the" you have to loose 10 to 15 kilos before we start to move forward with getting out one of your  kidneys" :yahoo; so the next step is to continue loosing weight and i have to go back to Sydney early next year to meet with the DR that will be removing the kidney then i will get a date for the op and then i hope to be on that dam list!!! I wish things could move abit faster but here in Aus things go really slow from now til early in the New Year but at least its one step further, i have one other test to do I failed the Manual stress test i had only been on dialysis for 2 weeks when i tried to run on a treadmill for 30 minites  :P this time i have to have the one were they inject you and look at your heart so fingers crossed that comes out fine. Thanks  for asking :-*
