You know I've had diabetes for 51+ years. Don't know if I told you I was put on peritoneal dialysis the first of August of 1997? Was doing that for 17 months until my step-son donated a kidney for a transplant. He is a U.S. Forest Service employee and was working at that in the early eighties. At that time the U.S.F.S. was heavy into spraying replanted cut-blocks with 24D, 245TS, and insecticides of various flavors. So last January when I went for my quarterly blood work my kidney function appeared the kidney was rejecting. To shorten a hectic 5 weeks the surgeon removed the cancerous kidney February 18th. The docs told us the kidney came with the cancer. I'm clean, no signs of cancer. I am on hemo dialysis until March 24 when I get to switch back to PD. That will save us 3 235 mile trips a week! My gas bill for March was at least $419.
So, I'm pushing to get back on the kidney list. I don't car what they say, 71 is not too old. HaHa Any way, good to hear from you. BoP.S. Feeling fine. _______________________________________________ [email protected] Unsub/Pause/Etc : http://mail.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/general
