I've enjoyed this forum for some years now but have never become an active participant. After 4 1/2 years on PD, I think maybe I can be of some help to others out there and maybe learn alittle from my fellow PD patients, God willing. My name is Bobby Max Evans and I live in Marble Falls, Texas (Howdy
). I am a high school teacher, teaching CAD design after a long career in engineering.

Yeeeeeeee-Haaaaaaaaww! Another Texan! LOVE Marble Falls! Beautiful drive. When I was a Freshman in High School (long time ago) we stole the Marble Falls polulation sign to burn in our Homecoming bonfire.
Let me apologize for that now.
Welcome to this fabulous site. I'm glad you finally decided to make your voice heard and meet some wonderful people. We're trying to schedule a meet n greet in San Antonio possibly in the Spring of 2010 or Fall of 2009. I'm working on it!
You know Texas heat. Spring or Fall would be best. Although, the dead of Winter wouldn't be a problem either.

Welcome to our community, Bobby! I love it when people who have hanged around a while decide to join. It means they like what they see here. And now you can be a real part of our IHD family
Nice to have another Texan. All I know of Texas is the hours my daughter and I spent in the airport (Dallas Fort Worth) on our way to the IHD reunion last year!
Please share some more about your experience with dialysis, either in the General Discussion or in the PD section. Looking forward to hearing from you.
