Not good!  Hopefully your kidneys aren't damaged too badly!

I want a newer, more slimlined model too!  Sure would be nice, wouldn't it!
Ick, I hate those 24-hour thingies!  Maybe the protein is just because it
was about that time?  I have that happen, or have had that happen.  Scared
me too because I was born with kidney problems that straightened themselves
out!

It is a chore, I agree!  Down to the last nine fabrics, but I haven't gotten
any sewing time in the last four days!  Pretty bad for someone who doesn't 
work out of the house!

That is great!!  Glad someone got their monies worth on one of those

Well maybe with Tom being back at work you can get a van in the 
ot-to-distant
future!  Good luck!
