What's New?
Let's see, what's happened since I last posted?

Well, for starters, I dropped out of the University of
Arizona after a terrible freshman year. I attended
Foothill from summer quarter 2003 through most of
winter quarter 2004.

In February 2004, I was diagnosed with End Stage Renal
Failure. That's Kidney Failure to the rest of you.

In March of 2004 I withdrew from Foothill to begin
Kidney Dialysys(sic) Treatment, and ended such
treatment in July 2004.

On July 21, 2004 I underwent Kidney Transplant Surgery
at Stanford Hospital. Which is easily the best place
to go if you're in need of a new kidney, pancreas,
liver, or any type of surgery to keep you alive.

In the three months that have passed since surgery,
I've sat on my ass playing video games, collecting
Disability payments from the government of $603 a
month, and returning to Stanford on a regular basis to
have blood drawn and to make sure my immune system
hasn't rejected my kidney. I also am required to take
a butt load of medicine to keep my immune system in
check, and to keep from getting sick.

Well, that's all for now.

-Matt E. Allen
