Hi Sean,

I know, I've heard about that too. But it won't stop me from drinking
the diet version.

Hopefully you will get it soon, and that you can regain some function.
Hooked to a machine for several hours, several times a week does not
sound like fun.

We just lost a good friend of ours--former Navy, retired FDNY, had a
long list of health issues. He passed away on Tuesday, after having a
massive heart attack last week. Initially they thought he'd need
dialisis but his kidneys came back, then faded out, like the rest of his
body. At his visitation last night and service today, the funeral home
was packed tight with people. He was the one who made chicken piccota
for a lot of our Legion get togethers; after I made it for the first
time several months ago, I told him and got a "good for you!". I'll
never make it again without thinking of him.
