Mavs I just wanted to thank you for your concern on Friday, I figured at least one of you would question whether or not I got locked up again.

You should head on over to the Pub immediately and check out the present I just gave Kelkhil.

That, and I can tell my blood pressure is lower. I'm pretty in tune with what my pressure is doing, and pre-quitting I could tell it wasn't under control very well. It is much better - and that is always a good thing for my kidney.

BP? Kidney? In the singular? Is there something we should know here? Or am I just out of the fruit loop as usual?

Yeah. I never actually got "off the Horse" more I took him down a short cut. I am doing alright today so far but we will see.

Sweetie, what planet do you live on?

I have posted several times that I had a kidney transplant in 1992, in my early 20's...right between when my parents died.
Got it from my sister. (She's a good egg...)

(I actually have 3 kidneys, if you want to be technical. My two "Natives" have atrophied to the point that they don't show up on x-ray anymore.)

I've been on BP meds since I was diagnosed. Your kindeys control your BP.

It's no biggie.

* didn't know either *

I don't know what Berger's is (headed to wiki now, don't worry about explaining it), but here are some *bigassjimibearhuggles* anyhow. :)

Hopefully the treaty was signed...


Kelkhil, the tasting like crap thing is a very good sign. I had a smoke a couple of months ago if you could call it one. My lungs were as unamused as my taste buds. I had to know if after almost 9 years (at the time) I was free enough to just walk away again. I am.
