The Dialysis or other problems is causing a strange side effect of severe numbness in my feet and ankles. It is like they are asleep and it is very hard to walk over uneven ground because you can't feel it.
Also it is starting in my fingers. The tips of my fingers are becoming numb. I hope they can do something about it.
Anyway, I am still going to work everyday. I haven't any choice, really. I have very good insurance at work and trust me I am using it.
At least I'm getting my money's worth out of something.

William, I received 5 stents in my heart 3 years ago and it made a world of difference for me. Keep your chin up! There's light at the end of the tunnel. My wife & I have you in our nightly prayers.

The dialysis side effects are not uncommon .... hopefully you'll find something to counter this. Its a necessary procedure but not very pleasant. Sucks to be taken off the transplant list.

Best wishes for a good outcome with the heart surgery.

"Keep pluggin pal, just keep pluggin." A friend said that to me years ago and now it's yours to keep as well. Got me through my own heart issues.

He has had heart surgery ...

.... I am very weak and tired as they had complications with excess bleeding. I had to stay in the hospital for an extra day. They also had great difficulty with the arteries as they were excessively calcified. Apparently dialysis removes calcium from your bones and precipitates it elsewhere in places it's not wanted.
Anyway, I am going to be at home for a few days.
Your friend,
William

Keep plugging away William, you are a real fighter.
