Diagnosed with ESRD-November 2006
I have had 2 fistuals-neither one worked
I have had 2 grafts the last one finally "took"
I had 3 different catheters from Nov. 06 - Dec. 08
Got on the transplant list - Halloween Day 2008

You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them.    I BELIEVE THIS TO BE SOOOOO TRUE!

I have not sent mine yet nor received one...but I plan to do it next week. My SS is in the states so hope that will help. Sorry but I have been prioccupied with testing. My friend came down from michigan and did the rest of her tests and we have been approved by the board!!  My transplant date is set for Feb. 3rd. That has been the best gift ever!

I'm still checking my mailbox every day...
(*sigh*)  ... nothing there again today.

I so hope that Boxman didn't send me gerbils that ate their way out of the box somewhere between up north and here.  But, then again, if Boxman did have my name and did send me gerbils, I really do hope they ate their way out of the box before they got to me.

I'll check my mailbox again tomorrow...
