Thank You all for the emails.
It was great getting them. I had a endoscope and colonoscopy done Tuesday and they found something of interest in the large intestine and took samples. I just have to make an appointment with the doc to find out what those results will be. First in the ER they told me I just had a UTI, but when they did further testing on the floor they found I had a kidney infection. Which to me is pretty much a UTI since it is part of the Urinary tract system, but I could be wrong, I don't have a fancy piece of paper :rofl; First thing I will do when I get up is finally shave! No way will I use a hospital shaver, I might be in here longer! ;D

It was sad and a shock to hear from Okarol that Flip passed away, I will miss his humor, post, and food input. I am glad I got to meet him in Chicago.

Also so nice to only see one topic reply regarding politics and more of what the group is about.

Again, hank You for all the emails.

Chris,

I hope that it wasn't the Dialyzor Porn that caused some sort of attack..


Get well soon!



That email made me laugh because I wish I saw the face of the person reading and printing this email wondering what the heck is Dialyzor Porn is or what type of weird sick person I am  :rofl;

Yes, home now.
Haven't eaten yet, bought coffee on way home and haven't finished it yet. Jut feel weak and cold is all. Cold though seems to be the norm and most CNA's knew me from many years ago before my transplant.

Kinda liked the so  called quiet of the hospital than being home, but hospital had no internet or very good TV.
I plan on going back to class tomorrow and hopefully send out my secret santa as soon as I wrap it tonight, print labels, scan the Christmas Card to post here, yada, yada, yada

I  didn't go to class today, but talked to my two instructors instead. To get caught up in one class, I have to be at school at 7 am on Monday and Wednesdays and stay late. For my other class, my instructor say's I am not behind, but I say B.S. when I watched what others where doing in class while talking to him today. He will help me get caught up though during class and after class.

Gonna be ruff in the coming weeks, then finals.

However, I did get Secret Santa gift box out, but forgot to include a letter I wanted to add.

I am starting to send out personal thank you letters to all the people who sent me an email while I was in the hospital. Not going to mass produce a signle email that has less individualistic flavor and meaning. I hope to have it done by Christmas at the rate I was going tonight, well 2 am equals morning doesn't it?

Chris, I was touched when I received your message, but you really didn't need to do that. We are family here and we were all concerned about you and were helpless to do anything more then send an email or text you as some lucky members did. Remember, we are all here for each other because that is what family does.  :grouphug; Now, get busy on that school work.  :cuddle;
