Just remember that poor woman who died from overdosing on water.
Everything in moderation, folks. And that includes alochol.

But do NOT forget to take vitamin supplements. That's important.  |

Aubrey, having to dialyse (is that the right verb?) must be horrible. Does that mean no alcohol?

No! I have whisky, and ice. Dialysis itself is OK - lying about for 4 hours and reading. There is a fluid restriction though - about a pint a day (I'm at my mother's this week and going over the limit every day, with tea, drink of the gods).
(Dialyse is right, though Firefox doesn't like it - then again, it doesn't like whisky either.)

Any chance of a transplant? Are you on the list? |

Not yet. I'm seeing about getting one off my sister (though I'm not sure whether I should have hers, really). Still - we'll do tests and see if we're compatible before deciding. If not, I'll go on the list. (I should say that I look forward to dialysis sessions: you get a cup of tea and sandwiches, and a glass of crushed ice, which I'd have now even if I do get a transplant; I had never realised how wonderful it is before)

Hope it works out for you. |
