 :bow; We don't say it enough, but we really appreciate our moderators.
It's because of them that the forum runs so smoothly.
These are unpaid jobs and most of the time they are working quietly behind the scenes, but we see all that they do.
We lost our dear Bajanne recently, may she rest in peace. And our buddy Epofriend has been struggling with some serious health issues.
Kitkatz, Rerun, paris, RichardMEL and JBeany all do a great job and do not get enough recognition.

Please join Sluff and I in giving them a big HIP HIP HOORAY! HIP HIP HOORAY! HIP HIP HOORAY!
 :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Thanks!

Thanks y'all from Texas.

You do a fantastic job and are all a credit to the dialysis community.

(Okay, I'm gonna try to use one of these icons again.)

Phew.  It worked.  I'm always afraid I'm going to use the "mooning" one by mistake.

The ones who work the hardest often get the least recognition.  We do know you're all working hard behind the scenes and we do appreciate all that you do, even if we don't often take the time to thank you.  We're kind of like kids that way!   :shy;

Without IHD, I would have never found out about NxStage and I don't know if I would have made it the two years on dialysis.  Or at least not with my sanity intact. 

Thanks, Mods!!!   :2thumbsup;

Dailysis patient for since 1999 and still kicking it strong.  I was called for a transplant but could not get it due to damage veins from extremely high blood pressure.  Have it under control now, on NxStage System but will receive dailysis for the rest of my life.  Does life sucks because of this.  ABOLUTELY NOT!  Life is what you make it good, bad, sick, or healthy.  Praise God I'm still functioning as a normal person just have to take extra steps.
