We're Brain Dead.....

We are both totally brain dead tonight after spending the day at the convention! It was kinda like school in that each session lasted 1 hour and there were 3 different ones going on at one time so you had to pick the one to attend. After the session, you moved to another room for the one you wanted for that hour. It was such a delight and pleasure for us to be able to hear and meet some of the top docs in kidney disease from across the nation. There as such a wide range of topics. Topics ranged from what they are working on to replace dialysis or transplants such as a wearable, artificial kidney to new meds that are being tested. There was a "Lunch with the Expert" and we were at the table with a Dr. Rees who is one of the leaders in paired donation. It was great to be able to directly ask him questions on transplants. There is a 1/2 day session tomorrow and then it will be time to start packing to come home.
