Hi, pretty Zelda! The fact that you have been surviving for 3 years so far thanks to daily sub-q fluids gives me hope for my Schuyler who was just recently diagnosed with chronic renal failure. We give him daily fluids. We switch places from neck to hip areas so he doesn't get too many holes in one place. He was COTD too, on 12/2/03. I hope you have a happy COTD celebration, dear Zelda, and prayers for longevity to you from me and Schuyler!
