To the moderator, I'm sorry for my last personal message going to the list instead of replying to them privately. It was an accident, I will do my best not to let it happen again. I'm slowly responding to all the wonderful people who have written me and lifted my spirits, smile.

Well first just a quick update. To make a very long story short, last summer I ended up in the hospital for 3 months and the result of everything that happened was that I had to have my right kidney removed. Even though I have had a pancreas transplant, and am no longer diabetic, after 20 years of diabetes before the transplant, one kidney wouldn't cut it and I had to start dialysis immediately. I am lucky enough that my husband and I (after training) are now doing home hemodialyis, which means I don't have to go to a center three times a week, which I hated! Things were going well, then I got a severe infection, and I'm really struggling to recover from it still. So anyway....the reason I am writing is because that I realize JFWLite has seriously not been kept updated for a very long time. I really don't have the energy to go through all the programs to figure out what needs updated and what doesn't, but if you want to write me with the changes you would like to see, I will slowly work on getting it updated at least. If you write to me, please understand if I am slow to respond, I have not been on the computer for a very long time and I certainly don't check my email 24 hours a day the way I used to, ha ha. If you could remember to put JFWLite in the subject line I would appreciate it so it would filter to my jfwlite folder. I hope that everyone is doing well.
