I was talking to Mikey today and he asked me to say hello on his behalf.  He's moved closer to where his sister lives and is now settled in his new apartment.  He's doing nocturnal hemo three nights a week and is pleasantly surprised by what a great atmosphere there is at his new unit compared to the former unit.  It's Davita but the tone is set by the FA who he likes very much and he finds that the nurse and tech actually seem to enjoy their jobs and they joke around with each other as well as with the patients.  Nice to hear good things like this as often as we can.  Mike won't have internet for another week or so but looks forward to returning here as son as he's sorted out, technologically speaking.
On a final note, King Leon sends royal purrs to all his faithful subjects, and yes that includes ALL of us on IHD.  He too is liking his new place and has become very fond of his new landlord who has been granted the special privilege of stroking the royal tummy, a favour granted to no one but her apparently.

Signed

What a nice update!   Thank you Monrein.  Sounds like the move is a good thing for Mikey.  We look forward to his internet being up and running again.  Give King Leon our best next time you talk to his master     :2thumbsup;
