[Lions-l] Dialysis

[ARTNFRAMES at aol.com]

Thanks Mike, I was really scared at first and had decided not to do it. But  
my family talked me into it.  They couldn't stand the thought of letting me  
go quite yet. I am doing better than I thought I would. I will be on the  
machine for 4 to 6 hrs, 3 times a week.  I also chose  the  dialysis center at 
Sacred Heart Medical center in Miramar Beach, Fl, I have  been in the hospital 
there 3 times since Feb, 9, 2008 and everyone has been  great.  
 
I didn't even know you could donate platelets.  I think that is a  thoughtful 
thing for someone to do.  I am continually amazed at the things  you can do 
to help others.

Betty -  

I had not heard  about your dialysis. I donate platelets every couple of 
weeks and am on the  machine a couple of hours at a time. They tell me there are 
some similarities,  but not as intense. I'll think of you next time -
