I would like to thank all of my friends here on Tu for all the thoughts, well wishes and prayers for me and my family.

The overnight stay in the hospital wasn't too bad. My hospital here has great food although I was not put on a renal diet which kind of confused me. When I asked I was told that the dietician will go over all of that this week while I am in the outpatient dialysis clinic. That starts tomorrow in the afternoon.

My only problem now is that I am allergic to the adhesives they use on the tape that holds the bandage over my catheder entry area and it is itching something terrible.

I have also had a couple instances of one of our dogs finding the catheder when they jump on me. Now that stings a little.

So I have started the new phase in my life. I will blog again after/during that first full blown session.

Again please accept my thanks.
