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.
