I hear from Kristina from time to time.  I got a lovely email note from her just the day before Gregory's transplant, so three months ago.  She was still maintaining her careful diet and not on dialysis.

I struggle on with haemo but am considering another trip to USA maybe in October. I loved it so much, have to come back, maybe for Vegas ???
We talk about an IHD Britain meet from time to time on here, so if it does materialize, I hope that you'd consider coming to that as well.

By the way, I moved to England last year. We're neighbours!  :waving;  :cheer:

Hello neighbour  :waving;
A IHD British meet would be really good. I do like to meet with people who get me, and my struggles...
And appreciate my warped sense of humour!!!!
Today is a non dialysis day. God I love non dialysis days.

I'm really glad to hear this!!!  Please give her my best wishes and my congrats on still not being on D!  That's a tremendous accomplishment!

Just thought I'd drop in and say hi (in case ANYONE remembers me???) I had a transplant December 2010 (same week as Rich) though it only lasted 12 months sadly.
Back on HD and have been quite poorly for last 6 months. But still around... Still giving em hell...
A big hi to those I used to talk to, hope you are well.

They were absolutely heaven. Filled with cream and topped with a little chocolate fudge sauce and served with vanilla ice cream and more pouring cream....
Almost better than sex!!!  :cuddle;
