It's over. First I'd like to thank everyone who offerered me prayers and kind thoughts for my experience. It helped alot.

I now have two tubes sticking out of my collar bone area and fortunately they're covered up so I can't see them. I can't go swimming or stand under the shower head.

But I can stand for long periods of time, which I couldn't do before and my swollen legs are about normal size now.

Regular dialysis starts on Thursday and goes three days a week. I have to get up at 6am for it, which is something I thought I'd never have to do again now that I'm retired, but I guess I can go back to sleep at the dialysis center.

Thanks, again for your support.

Steve
