Dear Millie and everyone else, Thank you for your concern. I am slowly getting back to myself. Dialysis is becoming more difficult and I am in need of a kidney transplant soon. A new fistula was put into my other arm but it has to mature for another month and a half in order to be used.
Millie, I'm so sorry to hear that you have to go through all of that. As you pray for me so do I for you and everyone else. I have to get going now. I'm really tired. Until next time... 18's, Marty On Wed, Mar 5, 2014 at 2:21 PM, houtz <[email protected]> wrote: > I am so concerned about Marty. Has anyone heard from him besides me.
