:waving; everybody, especially you Marc.   
   Sorry I hadn't been back hre for a couple of weeks.  Lot going on.  I got my letter from Duke Transplant Center.  I am offically on the list!  Oh yeah, I know there is going to be some time before I'll get a call, but it is a step. 
   I met a lady on Facebook from my old home town whose husband jsut started dialysis in December and who was looking for info on it.  I recomend IHD and the Ntional Kidney Foudnation web pages, as well as suggested some of you who are my friends on Facebook to be her friends.  I hope she comes here.
:clap; :clap; :clap;
Great!!

What did you do to your eye YLGuy? I haven't seen an eye like that in 30 or so years. Reminds me of eye surgery :stressed; :urcrazy;

IDK. I got ready for church Sunday afternoon and it was fine when I brushed my hair.  Ten minutes later when we sat down for 5:00 Mass my daughter asked me what happened to my eye.
