I&#39;ve been on dialysis since June of this year. My creatinine level when diagnosed was 27. My brother was recently tested and hope to her positive news soon. Luckily this happened while living in Taiwan and so far has not been a financial nightmare if it was in the US. Congrats on getting a donor. I hope the meds work and everything continues to go smooth.<br /><br />Josh LeeJ.

And I totally understand the love of walking. I miss it terribly and your improvements make me very optimistic (again) that someday soon I'll be out there walking amongst the trees and breathing in that air, too. When we're both there, let's make a date to go a walk together.

Any preferences? Fish? Chicken? Pork? Beef? I think they'd all be ok, depending on what you cook them WITH. Introduce them carefully. I can look through stuff and see what I have for you. In the mean time, how are you with frittatas (Italian omelette-ish, quiche-y dishes)? Eggs are a great source of protein, but I'm not sure how the stack up to your No-No list.Leislhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03754532145055192280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-727087768107078719.post-47121459301412917272009-04-21T00:44:00.000-06:002009-04-21T00:44:00.000-06:00I am so glad you are starting to feel better.
