I recently read a book authored by journalist Tracy Wilkinson about one part of the Vatican's specialists in exorcism. It is titled "The Vatican's Exorcists". It was an incredible to read, and most of the reporting was done in the country of Italy.

Again, you are very lucky to still be with us. You are a strong person.
I appreciate those words of encouragement. I was 20 and in the Marine Corps when I was diagnosed. It helps that I was young when it happened. I don't let it run my life any more than it already does. I call dialysis my "job".
Luckily I was in the service when it happened so my "job" pays well. And one of my many mottos is "It much easier to be sick if you have a few bucks in the bank".
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
