Thanks. Not your fault bro. Just 30 years of Type I Diabetes so it was bound to happen. It's still only stage 1 so I'm hopefully still a ways away from needing dialysis, and pharmaceutical treatments should help out. Still a bummer. Means my days of throwing back a few beers with my friends are over. (Need to keep as much "toxic" substances out of my body as possible since them dar kidneys aren't able to filter it out as well anymore). I guess the only potential benefit from having my kidneys completely fail would be that if I do get a transplant from an organ donor I could get a new pancreas as well and would no longer be a diabetic. Of course, I'm sure that the immunosupressants won't be all that spectacular.

Before it's too late, I think I need to save up some money and get myself out to Vegas for one final "hurrah" and buy a bunch of hookers.
