Hello everyone. I have been working alot and no time to be on here. I got an email today from a friend of mine. She said she wanted to get tested to be a donor. I just started crying here at work. I have been so depressed. I HATE dialysis. It just brings me down everytime I have to hook up. anyway I hope this works out. My mom has finally quit smoking so they will test her too. I just pray everything goes well. Just wanted to say hi and share my good news.
I love all the new smileys too.
