You are a hero and a great inspiration to all of us.  I am thrilled you are celebrating 11 years and I want you to celebrate 11 years from now and then another 11 years from then.  It has been my privilege to meet you and "work" with you.  Love you   :cuddle;

Eleven years is a long time to be practicing attitude but I think you've pretty much got that nailed.  Keep on keeping on KK and here's to many more years of dialysis health.   :cuddle;
