TUBES!!!!  It is so good to see you  :cuddle;  Please let us hear more from you. :grouphug;

Well I will keep it short and sweet. Next Tuesday, October 18th I will be having my first kidney transplant after 15

yrs. on dialysis. My mom, who has been jumping through hoops since April/May 'ish will be my donor.  We have to

report to the Lied Transplant Center at 6am. Then all the fun starts. >.<

I don't really know what else to say. I'll try to keep things up-to-date. But some of you know me - I disappear for

long periods of time.  :waving;

Tubes, one reason that I don't want to stop hearing from you is because of how much you meant to Goofynina.  She would want you to be here.

I know Bajanne. Thank you for caring.

I've had difficulty coming back since Susie passed. I had a hard time dealing with it. I didn't talk with anybody and just

kept it all inside.

I miss IHD a lot. Hopefully with this new beginning - I'll have the strength and courage to continue being a part of

this awesome family.

Best of luck tomorrow for you and your mom.

Poppy, best wishes for you and Blokey tomorrow too.
