That's amazing to watch Adam.  Looks like you have it completely under control!  I like the model trains, too.  My dad was a huge model train enthusiast when I was little and he had a big train set up in our basement.

Here's a recent hemo video by HappilyDayzed

"Here is a short one I made so you all can see what a dialysis patient must endure every other day. If you know someone suffering from kidney disease let them know you understand their struggle a little better now."

Wow.  Very tough to watch.  Harder still to see up close what so many of you are going through on a regular basis.  :'(

I know it's what you need to stay healthy, but still it makes me  :'( , sorry...

Stephen had a permacath, so we did not deal with the needles and the fistula.

The music is by a friend of ours.  It's a very small world.
