This year has been a hard one for me. First with my health problems (kidney disease and with kidney disease you have all sorts of health problems)and being on peritoneal dialysis, I had a hernia in March of 06, with an infection which put me on hemodialysis. On April 15th (TAX DAY) which we had to pay again, and while on hemodialysis, I had a cardic arrest (venticular fibrillation) which I don't remember anything that happened. I was lucky. I was hospitalized and then transported by ambulance to another hospital where they then put stents in. And up to this day, I have not had a relapse. I am on an Aspirin regimen plus other heart medicines. I am managing my life. It is possible that I will need to have a heart bypass in order to get a kidney transplant.
