Sorry haven't been here for a while. No problems just forgot my password and just a bit too much of a procrastinator to reset it. (I know it takes like 30 seconds). A little about me for those who may have forgotton, and those new. Assuming I make it to April 12, 2012 I'll be celebrating 39 years with the same kidney transplant.
No issues from the last time I was here except three squamous cell skin cancers. I get so many of these that its basically routine now. Except that I had was one on each hand. Decided to have both done at the same time. Not a good idea. I had the use of only three fingers on my left hand (I'm right handed) for a week....not fun.
Oh and for some strange reason I had a blood clot in my right leg that landed me in the hospital for three days. Not sure why someone like me got one. At 5'7" I weight 140 lbs soaking wet, have a cholesterol of about 130-140, cycle 2,500+ miles a year and did not take any long trips. Even the doctors were baffled. The most upsetting was that I was in the hospital. That was only the second time since I left one after my transplant in 1973. The other time was a bad bike crash.
Well nice to be back. I wrote down my passwork, hopfully in a place I can remember to find it.

Bill! I've been wondering where you were. Sorry to hear you broke your hospital-avoidance streak.
Don't be such a stranger again. Three fingers is one more than my husband uses to type, so that excuse does not hold water with me, my friend! >:D
Welcome back.
