Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 Hi Toni, Glad to see you back posting again. It will take some time, but you are doing great Toni.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Congrats, Toni! Sounds like you are doing great. I would let the doc know about the diet changes, though....too much protein can be hard on the kidneys. Just to make sure it's okay for you.
