G-ma, I hope you can enjoy this incredible weather we are having.  The sunshine makes things feel a little better.   I am keeping you in my thoughts  :cuddle;

Thanks Paris...my first yahoo this week...I had to see my eye surgeon for possible lazer surgery and he said nope, don't need...my eyes look good for their condition so went home and enjoyed the fresh air and by this afternoon migraine was almost gone.  Hope you are having a great weekend.

Thanks PB...yes I am determined to work my way up the food chain...in the meantime I called Davita this morning and started a transfer to a Davita center near me and am glad I did.  Today was a day of alarms again with me having to call someone when my machine alarmed and one time a tech said "I know" and walked away before coming back, and this is not just my machine that is ignored.  They are having nurses working in place of some techs due to economy and the nurses are not helping the techs when needed so the techs want to play that game too.  I'll be about the 8th patient in 3 weeks to jump ship I believe.  Grrrr.

Man, at that  point I would have just shut the d**n alarm off myself!!   >:D
