Thanks for sharing the pictures. It must feel so good to be a grad. That's quite an achievement for anyone but especially for someone who didn't let kidney failure get in the way.

I went to high school on dialysis as a teenager, I don't figure it to be much harder to graduate college at 40 on dialysis.. *G*

Now I need an actual job.  I've actually made some headway on that, but I'm going to wait till I get back from Philadelphia before really putting any effort into it
