 :welcomesign; You have a great attitude Ian. Especially for having to deal with alll this at such a young age. I can totally relate, I was 19 when I started dialysis 4 years ago, so if you ever need anyone your age to talk to or bitch about dialysis going crappy, or anything else, just give me a shout, I'd be happy to listen  :kickstart;  :waving;
