Ruth and I celebrated our 67th anniversary
last Friday.. We had a dinner with family members. I hope we have a
number of more of them.
I started dialysis treatments two weeks ago. The kidney doctor told me
that my kidneys were working at 7 per cent efficiency and that anything
under 15 per cent was extremely dangerous. I have been putt in off
dialysis for a number of years but I have been feeling so lousy the last
few months, that I started dialysis. I hope that lt will help me feel
better eventually. It is very boring sitting still for four hours, three
times a week I even had to have treatment Monday, Memorial Day. The only
day the dialysis clinic is closed is Christmas Day.
Despite my health problems, we are hoping to be able go to Arizona this
winter.. I searched the Internet and found a dialysis clinic in the
doctor's building, next to the New Mountain Vista Hospital on Southern
and Crismon Streets.
I agree with Sonia that it is very disappointing that more members do
not write to the newsletter. I know we are all busy with chores and
going to the doctor. I am guilty of it myself. Let's not disappoint
Chuck and send him a lot of messages next week.
