Shopping Day - Again

Before we came back here, we signed up for a convention that is being held in Little Rock starting Aug 26th. It is AAKP's annual convention which is the American Association of Kidney Patients. It should be very interesting and we are really looking forward to it. This year they are having 3 tracks of sessions - one for kidney disease in general, one for dialysis patients and one for transplant patients. It is a 3-day, all-day event with some pretty notable speakers. One thing I never thought of was that anyone with 1 kidney, whether the person was born that way or donated a kidney, is considered having "stage 3 kidney disease". Larry's nephrologist dropped that one on me when Larry had his last visit. Anyway, we intentionally didn't bring all the clothes needed for it and intended on shopping for them while here. So, thought we had better get busy since it's only 3 weeks away. They recommend long sleeves for the meeting rooms and that is really hard to shop for when it is 114 degrees out. I'm about done but Larry has a ways to go yet.
