Title: Hello everyone...
Post by: John S. on August 22, 2006, 10:04:52 AM: Hi everyone....My name is John and have been doing hemo for 12+ years. Started in 1991 with PD. Had a transplant in Jan. 1992. That lasted 2 1/2 years. Hospitalized for 2 months because I stopped taking the steroids cold turkey and nearly croaked.

I'm in Milwaukee here at a great clinic. Fairly new clinic with snappy little baxter machines. Well trained nurses and techs. Excellent recliners and everyone has their own tv.

I'll chime in when i can as i have alot of experience with tests, drugs, docs, skipping, nurses, techs, the whole lifestyle.

thanks

We really would love to hear more from you and your journey. We also have a "family album" where we all (mostly all) :) have posted our pics, so please feel free to post a pic of yourself so we can place a face with a name (just makes it all the more personal) ;) Have you checked out our arcade? Epoman has done a fantastic job creating an arcade with some ol' school games along with some newer ones, so when you have a minute or two, go have some fun, k? K! :)
