Hi my fellows in "suffering"!

I had a meeting with my doctor today and in three weeks time I'll get Doppler of my arm veins. You know what follows.
The second bad news is, that Slovenia didn't advance in soccer. England and USA go in 1/8 finals.

But the wonderful news is, I've got a girlfriend. Yupi. Very supportive. So much in love right now.

Take care,

GoingThere

Ah, Uros, who can worry about dialysis when you've got love and romance? :guitar: She's a lucky lady. You, my dear, are a catch.

Congratulations, and keep dropping in to let us know how you are doing. :beer1;

Wow Uros, this is wonderful news.  I remember when you first joined you were sad and worried, and one of the things you were worried about was ever finding a girl who wasn't turned off by fistulas and dialysis.  And now look at you

Go Uros and Yupi!   ;)
