OK. I think I have a diving problem. I was sooo good to actually start saving money, putting $100 away twice a month, then this boat dive thing comes up.
So, I spent my last $100 on the boat dive and transferred my savings into my checking. I know, but what else was I gonna do?
Is there a 12 step program?

Drew, matter of fact, today is the 5 year anniversary of my accident. And to celebrate, I'm doing 5 dives this weekend, or, attempting 5 dives this weekend. 
I'm doing pretty good, still waiting for that kidney transplant, but keeping spirits up and attitude good till that day comes. Next year or two I shoud get a transplant, then I can go away for some warm water diving!

I think a lot of us are in the same boat (hehehe), but I can't think of anything better to be addicted to?

No, I've shared my experience at Monastery with others freely, I want people to take it (Monastery) seriously, it's no joke. Maybe someone else can learn from my inexperience, CHOMP is a great hospital, but if I can keep just one person from winding up there, it is all worth it.
I also wanted to share with everyone another thing that I have learned as a result, which is to live your life. Don't find yourself wishing you had spent more time with your family, or done the things you really wanted to do and then find yourself in the spot where you don't think you'll ever be able to do them again. The dialysis keeps me from doing one of the things I enjoy, travel, but there is so much in life to appreciate, your friends, your family, the sunshine on your face, the wind in your hair. When I was in the hospital my son said to me, he was 9, Mommy, please don't die, there is so much more we haven't done!
Well, now I'm doing it! Live your life!
Do I blame Monastery? No, I blame my inexperience. I will never put myself in that position again.
