I moved to Pennsylvania two weeks ago. I just got internet installed today. One big change here in PA is that I decided to change to nocturnal dialysis. I go for eight hours three times a week, Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday nights. King Leon sends his royal love to you.

Wow, big changes for you and His Highness. Do you like your new place? I can't wait to hear how nocturnal goes. Do they turn the lights off, can you wear jammies, does anyone snore?? LOL Inquiring minds want to know.
