Wow, can't believe how much time has passed since the last post. I guess time flies. Well where to start? I guess the first place to start is with dialysis, gone from in center Hemo to at home PD. Sometimes I'm not so sure, went from 3 times a week to 7 days a week for 10 hours/day. Also have to do an afternoon exchange around 3pm each day as well. Plus have to have a butt load of boxes on hand, order supplies monthly and have a bunch of equipment and supplies in the bedroom. Some days I get very depressed on the whole situation. As this is not the only health issues, add in the IHB that raises it's ugly head from time to time, have to take insulin 4 times a day and poke my fingers as many times, swallow a handful of pills 3 times a day...oh what fucking fun!!! Winter is going away (hopefully) but 3 weeks ago going out to get the mail, slipped in the street and tried to catch myself, did a good face plant in the middle of the street. Messed up both knees pretty good, just starting to be able to walk normal once again. Christ sake, think I was 65 instead of being 54? Yeah, yeah I know there are people in worse condition and have more problems and should stop feeling sorry for myself...Well If you can't feel sorry for yourself once in a while then who can? Have to go to the dentist next week and have a loose tooth pulled, probably a teeth cleaning done. So let's add one more thing to the long list of problems. Oh yes almost forgot the shot's in the eyes every 6 months for the macular degeneration. woohoo!

Putting aside the health issues, I've been trying to stay busy with home improvement projects. Removing carpet from the stairs and refinishing them...turned out very nice. Have a few more projects on my list, updating the laundry shelving, redoing the pantry shelving, painting the living room. Need to build my T-track project board, hopefully by then it will be time to start working out in the yard, cleaning up and planting flowers, plants and vegetables in the garden. Also need to do some shop organization and clean up from the winter.
Well this has been a very compact summary of the last 9 months, but this is about as good as it gets. Will try to keep updates more often, but we all know that doesn't always happen as planned. Best I can say is I will try, but no promises!
Oh yeah, nearly forgot that we've added a cat to the population of 4 legged critters in the house hold...two large dogs and now a cat too!
