I LOVE dogs too. Both my boys are allergic so we do not have any pets. I was working in a veterinary hospital when my kidneys failed.

I don't know Karol but I seem to be existing on about 4-5 hours a night. Drives me crazy but at least I can find American and Australian people on here to talk to late at night! I hate being the only one awake in the whole world x I get so hyper in the day that i can't come down at night. I think our brains just want to keep going sometimes |

True YL how come you've broken bones on 20 different occasions? Are you jumping out of planes without a parachute? Bungee jumping with the wrong length? Ski-ing black runs? Riding wild horses? Taking part in this weekend's GP in Melbourne? I've made you sound like a James Bond style hero now!!!!!  |

I have jumped out of perfectly good airplanes on a number of occasions. My father was in the Marine Corp and then a cop for 20 years. I have one sibling who is 3 years older than me. I was told over and over I was too little to do stuff and I always had to prove them wrong. I was pretty fearless (and stupid) in my younger days. I broke bones diving off a diving board, diving off a bridge, motorcycle accidents, getting punched in the sternum, crashing on a scooter... I also broke some just by dumb luck. I have 7 different fractures in my nose and it has been fixed twice. It still is a tiny bit crooked as I broke it again after the last fix.

Wow I am so happy for Harvey - couldn't happen to a nicer guy!  Chris, you may remember - he's the guy that traveled all over doing NxStage in his motor home. From his facebook "Over the last 3 and a half years I've had the great pleasure of traveling over 60,000 miles to over 150 dialysis centers helping to raise awareness of short daily home dialysis.
