Hey it's been a while since I've checked in. Everything's is going well got a call from my clinic today my haemoglobin was very low. But knew that already mentioned to them already that I was feeling tired to the bone. They looked into it so atleast I know they're listening. My sister was at the hospital today and had some tests done she's going ahead and giving me a kidney which is great and I'm very thankful. I a little story where I can say thank you for dialysis which I thought I'd never would say and it goes like this. I was on dialysis on Saturday it came to the end of my session and the nurse was only starting to take the man next to me off. Now I know it's only a few mins before she comes to take me off but it kills me to be any longer on than I have to be. I'd say it took her about fifteen mins to get to me. I'm a bit grouchy and tetchy at this stage but roll with it. She eventually comes to me and gets me off. My lift is waiting and the lady that goes for dialysis. Hate when everyone's waiting ages for me. Eventually we get going and on to the motorway when we come across a huge smash I reckon if I was 10-15 mins earlier we'd have been in the pile up. Now I know I shouldn't dwell on couldda wouldda shouldda but there ya go.. Hope my little story cheers you all up God knows we need it...

Oh, that's great news about your sister!  Much better story than your delay on the motorway!
