Well Monday is here.

We dont agree much about politics but i look up to you for good answers and advice in regards to anything dialysis.  You go above and beyond what the average person on dialysis does.  I even go to your website  :o..
Get well and stay well so you can do what you do so well.  Advocate for so many people on dialysis.
Godspeed Bill  & be well.

maybe tweeted too soon

my bowels haven't "woken up" so it looks like I'll be here through tomorrow and I'll have to dialyze inpatient

all they wanted me to do was fart but the one time I want to I can't

and they won't let me have any beans

kinda a let down but I probably wasn't being realistic

thanks for the good wishes ... how about someone sending some gas my way
