OK I will take this a little slower this time so not to mess up yet again.

Well you know my name HAHA and you know my children and their names  now alittle about my situation.

On Nov 8th I went to the ER thinking I had a Urinary Tract Infection. I did not have a primary care provider so the ER was were I felt I could go to get a Dr to Script some Antiboitic for my "UTI"  I was informed that my Creatine level was high 4.6 and they wanted to admit me into the hosptal.   Well three weeks later I am leaving the hospital diagnosed with Goodpastures Syndrome (GP for short) it is where I have antibodies attacking my kidneys and I am now at 15% working and on Dialysis Tues,Thurs,Sat. and Plasma Floresis on Mon Wed Fri.  Although the Plasma Florsesis will stop eventually.    I am currently in the process of Consolidating my belongings and moving in with my mother along with my children.  FAMILY what a wonder thing to have!!!

I am sorry for all the short INTROs that I did  Hopefully this one works
I look forward to chatting with many of you in the chat room provided in this site.  I LOVE TO CHAT
My Hobby of choice  PHOTOGRAPHY
My Favorite movie  50 First Dates ( love it when Drew Beats up that guy with the bat) HAHAHA
My Favorite Food   UGG nevermind  I CANT HAVE THAT ANY MORE  it was speghetti.

Hope this is a more acceptable introduction
