debbie i hope everything will work out for my friend. lee Thank you for taking the time to write Michael. It really does make me feel good inside to know that so many people still remember and care about me. I am hoping that my health will improve to the point that I can get on the kidney transplant list. I hope that life has been going well for you.

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.
