UPDATE MAY 21

Dialysis (hemo) continues 3 times a week.

I have lost 75 pounds - mostly fluid.  This is a good thing.

Peritoneal dialysis has proved to be NOT successful with me.

So the peritoneal port in my abdomen is being removed.

A fistula for hemodialysis is being placed in my left arm.  This is a wonderful thing.  The surgery will be June 11.

ALL IS WELL.  Planning a benefit for October 9 & 11 - benifiting Habitat for Humanity at United Church of Chapel Hill.

STAY TUNED.
