EXCITING NEWS !!

We are excited to announce the formation of one of two 2nd Annual I Hate Dialysis get togethers.

Last year in October was our first Annual get together in Las Vegas NV. We had such an enormous response from some of the members who live on the Eastern half of the United States that we decided to host one in Chicago Illinois this year.

I need to know who will be able to make it.

Chicago IL  August 2nd 2008 (Motel is in theTinley Park area.)

More Info to follow.

Those going:

Count me in.  This is so scary.  I have not travel since I have been on PD.  I hope it won't be too complicated.  Plus,  I have never been to Chicago.  My husband has been several times on business.

...One day I'm coming to NY. And we must go for pizza...
(alene writing)
Alright, is this where the "which pizza is better, New York pizza or Chicago pizza" discussion  :boxing; begins...

...or here, perhaps in Chicago itself in August, with Sluff carrying Amanda on the back of his bike and Meinuk and the New York pizzas in his sidecar!!! :clap;

I would like to attend, and it is possible that I will indeed be able to, but I don't know just yet.  I guess I'll have to be a "definite maybe" for now.

It's possible that I can get there too. I''ll do PD while I am there rather than bring the Baxter. Not sure for definate yet, it depends on the price of the  flights.

Okay, Marvin and I want to come...but, we need more info.  Tell me about the rates for rooms.  When you have a reunion like this, what other costs are involved (food obviously -- how are the meal prices up there? ... anything else?).  We'll have to check into the cost of flights -- too far to drive, and a lot will depend on how much it costs and if we can save up enough between now and then.

Sir Ken, Oh my goodness!!  I would be so excited if you were able to come to Chicago. 

And Petey and Marvin,  maybe with advance time to plan (and heal!) you will beable to come.  But, we are still having a mini meet for NC people!  When Marvin feels better, we will pick a time and place :cuddle;
