My remission went into remission and the kidney disease returned
with a vengeance. Actually, it's more of an auto-immune disease with
my kidneys being the innocent victims. Since the first course of
chemo didn't work I started a different one today. Naturally, if
I need it and it's expensive, the insurance won't pay for it, but
that's a worry for another day. I finally got a dose of Rituximab
today over the course of seven-and-half-hours with an IV in my arm.

I'd dearly love to hit the stream tomorrow with riverman and the
gear whore but I'm afraid I'm a little too pooped.

I am going to get out eventually though, perhaps as soon as this
weekend and me & the new puppy will fish, camp and canoe until I
have to do it all again. TR to follow.


Ken, I'm truly sorry to hear this. Keep your chin up and fight it hard.
