you have my deepest sympathy as I can relate to you as your skin.In 2001 my one kidney gave up working.I did things the oter way round to you,I had CAPD first and it nearly cost me my life,infection after infection and peritonitus.I had to go for heomo' I had no choice if I wanted to live,like any other kidney sufferer.Now six years down the line and people are talking about a possible transplant,but you know what,I cannot handle it.I know that I should be over the moon,but the medicines and no immune system for a while scares the life out of me.I want to talk to people who have done it,other wise I WILL DIE because of my ignorance.Anyone out there?

I am sorry. I am not looking for any god, and there are many to choose from; nor am I interested in creating my own. As someone, maybe Marx, said, "religion is the opiate of the masses". It isn't anymore. Too many people have realized that man created god, not the other way around. For those who still need it, it serves as a social club and/or palliative. Since I am basically antisocial and resistent to soporifics I don't feel the need of it, but I do not begrudge it to you, nor the comfort it gives you, if it is what you want.

I think any religion is superstition and I find it amusing that when one denies any interest in it, religious people attribute that to some great disappointment or negative experience, rather than the reasoned judgement of an analytical mind.

Good luck. I don't think we are a very good match, but I do hope that your health improves.

I don't want to be canonized, Its an insult to God, Jesus Himself is the Lord who heals, why should men recieve the praise that is due to the only God.

I also find superstitious people sad, equally as sad is religion, all of it is a forfeit of a relationship with Jesus. I percieve that you have tried and searched and been discouraged, that you have tasted hypocrisy and felt sick over it. you will not find God in a church, in some you may, but many are just dead, to find God you must humbly aproach God through His son, after all He suffered for your sins, taking the penalty of them upon His own body, You will not find satisfaction in your self, or atheism, the self by nature always desires and is never satisfied.

Blessings thanks for sharing your opinions with Me.

so, you haven't been doing much other than working the odd miracle? I guess whatever helps you walk on water is fine. Be sure and document them all so that when you die as a very old man the church can canonize you. I am sorry for your trouble and I wish you well. If I were a wiccan I would cast a spell for you, which is, after all, what prayer is; an attempt to cast spells, and about as efficacious. I find superstitious people sad, but perhaps it is what you need.

What a wonderful wife - she clearly loves you! Ramble on - it's so good for the soul to empty yourself out.

How are the kidneys today?

So glad you are on the up. Will hope it carries on that way. When I'm worried or frightened or think I can't cope I repeat my motto - which just happens to be my blood group as well : B+ (be positive!!)

Hope it works for you too - mind over matter

All the very best xx

I wish you all the very best of luck with your health and I thank God I am lucky enough to be healthy. My heart goes out to you - I hope other things in your life compensate for your bad luck. If you are ever bored whilst having treatment, try the fantasy story I have written for dreamy teenagers - might not be your 'cup of tea' at all but it might cheer you up and 'take you away' for a bit! http://forestopuscules.blog.co.uk

Here is one of my favourite sayings which always makes me smile - attributed to Winnie the Pooh

"An ambush is a sort of surprise. So is a gorse bush sometimes."

All the best bunnybabe (actually, that's not my real name but who cares?)
