Yeah. especially since it is easier on him to be on days right now due to his dialysis schedule.

I figured dialysis would be a morning procedure when the kidney is just getting started.

It is Tim. His session starts at 0600. Makes more since for him to be on days at this point instead of working midnights.

Yeah it is. But he is there for about 5 hours. On days he has dialysis he doesnt come into the office.

Yeah it takes that long for it Tim. Most people that are on dialysis usually go home to sleep after they are done. It takes alot out of them physically. They are stuck in a reclining chair for 5 hours while literally all of their blood is pumped through a filter and put back into them.

Doesn't sound like a good time at all. Hopefully he can get a transplant soon.

He is working on it. Just waiting for some tests to get done. But I have a feeling he will be out on disability before it happens.

Hey do you guys know much about the quad shock deals on the older fords, have a 92 and the coils dented the heck out of the fatter part of the shock, were cheap rancho's so not complaining too much, and I was thinking that it could be because I only did the shocks behind the coils, when it bought it the bracket in front of the coils were empty so didnt think it was necessary, or maybe something else caused it, any ideas?

Post a picture, sounds like someone put the wrong shock on. The Shocks have 2 different part #'s on each front side.
There was also an adapter kit to turn the single shock front end into dual front shock. This kit was a POS, and should be removed
Kinda need to see what you have.
