Well hello IHD buddies!  I haven't posted in quite a while because frankly there hasn't been anything to say.  I think the last post was when I had informed everyone that I had submitted my name to switch over to home hemo.  I finally had my meeting with them and they said they would call me next week with my training time.  They said it would probably be in May but we will see.  It also looks like I will be going back to work part time in a couple of weeks.  Looks like I am getting some normalcy back, whatever that is.   ::)  It has been a crazy couple of weeks though.  Seems like all I want to do is sleep...I am exhausted.  My hemoglobin looks good but my iron is a little low.  Maybe the iron is the cause, but it has been low before, and I wasn't near this tired.  Well, I promise I will try and keep everyone informed...

No news is good news!  This is much better than you having to post about some crisis or emergency!
