    Damn these fixed price contracts with their tricksy slippery scope creeps...

    However, the wife will be off Sat and a mate has given me his Deluxepass credentials....woohoo!

Travel insurance will go through the roof, but she's been told to not leave the uk for 12 months. She can't touch soil due to the germs etc!

    The anti rejection drugs mean that she is more likely to get certain cancers since they can effect the structure of her DNA. She is on a cocktail of these, the precription we have to pick up this evening is £48. She needs these for the rest of her life, but unlike a diabetic, we have to pay.

    She says she felt fine before the op also. The problem is, the decline is so small that you do not notice the difference from day to day. If you could roll back her kidney function 5 years before the op and then move it back, I know she would have felt the difference.

    Fook !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Interests = Travel, Drinking, Gardening and Reading.

    Might just do a leaving Las Vegas but in Rome, with the wife (BTW I got back with after 12 months and my German adventures).

    No not yet, just fish oils, steriods and blood pressure pills.

    But the graph of function over the last 15 years is a slow but sure downward trend.

    hence the drive to pay my mortgage off over the next few years and tour Italy for 6 months before it happens.

    Have you started your low salt and potassium diet yet? Has it got that far? My wife hated hers. Nothing fresh, all veg had to be boiled to death to remove nutrients. No bananas or fresh fruit juice. Hardly any meat. On the up side she could eat as much plain boiled rice as she liked. Yum yum.
