Thanks, Cobbie, I'm doing pretty well now. I lost 30 pounds, I'm working out regularly, and my energy level is way up (I was actually taking NAPS on the weekend!). I've got a good ------ nephrologist and people actually get off of dialysis from time to time; he has one patient who did. I'm much better off than some others, they have no kidney function left, have diabetes, and need 4 hours of dialysis three times a week.
It's my own fault; for two years I was working long hours, not working out, eating bad food, and not getting enough sleep. You've got to watch that blood pressure; they don't call it "the silent killer" for nothing!

Then out spoke brave Horatius, the Captain of the Gate: "To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late; And how can man die better than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of his Gods,"
"Well, John Henry said to the Cap'n, "A man ain't nuthin' but a man. But, before I let that steam drill beat me, gonna die with my hammer in my hand, Lawd, Lawd, gonna die with my hammer in my hand."
