Finally some good news... my uncle who has been ill for some time was put on dialysis. Kinda figured he would be on forever. Well I guess his numbers (and way he feels) is muchbetter and he's been taken off. He does have heart issues to contened with but I'm so happy to hear this. I hope things stay good for him.

This is my dad's brother. My husband's renal failure was from neglect of diabetes ultimatley. My uncle had some other problems in his life . My dad and my Aunt's say they were from the fact that he got Agent Orange in the Viet Nam war. If I'm correct, that was some kind of gas, or pesitcide the US dropped to clear away foliage so they could thier enemy better. It was apprently in extremly high doses. Much more than they thought. If anyone knows more about this I'd LOVE to know about it. Thanks and hope everyone is doing as well as can be expected!
