Hi Matt....nice to hear from you.  I am a bit like you when it comes to "intermittency" but I try and get on here whenever I can so I can catch up with everyone.  Sounds like you have all you ducks lined up and have things in control.  Great to see you living your life and your dreams ad great to see the dialysis is not slowing you down too much.  Take care.  I hope this thread bursts at the seams. xx

The medical field will be a wonderful career to have and it should suit you well.
Sounds like a lot of work, don't know how you do it. Being 30 yrs old is still young in my book and you have many good years yet.

Glad you're keeping us in the loop and that things are going well with your studies.  Hope everything's good on the girlfriend front also.  Once we see photos we feel she's part of the family too.
All the best and stay in touch.  You know we care and we worry.   :cuddle;

Thanks for asking Neo. I am doing really good! I do volunteer work at a thrift shop, and at a kidney support group so that, and being on IHD, takes up a lot of time. Jenna is taking theater arts classes at a local college, and her kidney is working great.
I got a ticket 2 days ago and then a rock cracked my windshield today, but those are minor set backs, they will pass. Take care and keep posting!

Hi, Matt!  I am doing okay.  I am presently teaching one French course at our Community College, and doing some tutoring on the side - children's French, and Adult Spanish.  Hoping to get my job at the Tourist Board back once the season starts in november.  For now, have to be content to let my daughter be the breadwinner.  She is also studying hard to finish her bachelor's degree online - doing Management.  then she plans to do a master's in Human Resources.
It's great to hear from you.  Please weigh in every now and then and let us know how you are doing.   :cuddle;

Spent July in Peru, which was great!
Spent September dealing with MRSA in my nose, then a urinary tract infection caused by a weird strain of e-coli.
Now finally feeling really good again. My 17 yr old daughter is busy filling out applications for college. My 19 yr old son is skipping college this semester and is working at Circuit City selling computers. My husband is good as usual teaching H.S. Economics and going fly fishing next week-end.
Hope all is well with you.
