Sorry to have been away for such a long time. I was not sick but just didn't take the time to put up a new post. Also, I've been too busy reading the story. I hope none of you were overly concerned as to why I was away.
Here in Canada it has finally warmed up after a very long cold spell. One person told me her daffodils were starting to come up.
Further to when I started dialysis in 1982........Shortly before I started a new type of dializer had been introduced. This one was a round cylinder about 10 inches long. The inside was narrow celephane material where the blood moved from one end to the other. When they broke the dializer in half it looked like and reminded me of my father's shaving brush. These dializers were disposable.
That's all for now let me know if you have any questions or find this confusing. Sandi
