I'm Marvin

  Marvin!  Maybe it is that North Carolina attitude that keeps you in such good spirits! I am also in N.C.  I do love how positive you are. You have found a great site with really caring people who are here to help each other.  So glad you found us!

Hi Marvin,

Glad you joined the group.  This is an awesome website.  I can vent, praise and ask questions about dialysis.

Hi Marvin, I feel horrible that I am just reading your introduction. Len was in the hospital when you came on board and I totally missed this. I'm sorry. That was a terrific intro, I feel like I have know you for years. Allot of similarities going on here. Take care and post when you can get petey off for a minute or two.

Hi Marvin
I've only just read this as it popped up as unread thanks to willieandwinnie posting.  I read it all from the start wondering if you were 'Petey's Marvin' and thinking how much you SOUNDED like you must be - then I saw the last post and realised you ARE!! So I want to say hello and thank you for my Purple Boa - I'm wearing it to work on Thursday and I'll think about everyone here all day long - and spread the word.    Rose xx

I don't know HOW I missed this!!! Hello, Marvin!!! We already KNOW how cute you are, but more pictures never hurt!!!!   

We all think Petey is just WONDERFUL!!!!! 

I'm impressed with your attitude, sure wish I had some of that at times!!! I do try, but it sure is hard sometimes!

Don't know how I missed this thread.
  Marvin to the IHD Family!
Your introduction was great.

Yep, guys!  This is "MY" Marvin!  He doesn't get the opportunity to get on the computer too much because I'm always hogging it -- logging on to IHD!  Now that I'm back working (been out for six weeks taking care of him), you'll probably see Marvin pop up here more often.

willieandwinnie -- you and Len have become our dear friends on this site.  You know you've helped get me through a rough time here lately (what would I have done if I hadn't found IHD and found you?).  Marvin teases me now because I'll say something to some of our other (in person) friends or my family and I'll start it with, "I was talking to my friend Kathy and she was helping me cope with everything that's been going on ..." and Marvin will say, "They haven't even met, and Marsha already is closer to Kathy than she is to her own sister."

IHD has made a difference in my life!

petey, you made me . I'm so glad that we have met through IHD, it's a wonderful thing isn't it? 

Marsha, your timing was just perfect in posting this. I just got off the phone with my girlfriend CJ, she lost her husband a couple of months ago to MRSA in an Annapolis hospital. I am at a loss for words when I talk to her. I can hear the loneliness and sorrow in her voice. She was by my side in 2001 when Len died and she held me like a baby when they were reviving him. She said she is thinking about moving to Virginia to live with her daughter. I told her I can't begin to imagine how she feels but I'll always be here for her, no matter what. Thats how I feel about petey and Marvin even though we have never met. It's our life experiences that bind us.

Len also laughs at me about talking about you, he gets confused and ask, who is petey? When I say Marsha, he says, oh... sister Marsha. Thanks for making feel better. Hugs to my Marvin.
