Title: Hello There!
Post by: BroBrooz on February 01, 2009, 03:50:24 PM
[color=Blue]I am 'BroBrooz', from the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California.  Have been on PD for about 6 months. I'm 64, and recently retired, after the moved our facility out of state. My former company was great about the missed and late time associated with dialysis,but don't think that I'd be so lucky with a new employer. Truth be known, I'm probably beginning to enjoy retirement a bit too much! Have been married to MrsBroBrooz for 14 years, have 2 grown (?) kids, and three grandkids (to whom I have read the riot act to about kidneys!). We're active in our church (hence:"BroBrooz'), where I serve in various areas of lay ministry. Aside from a bumpy start, PD has gone well-my Divita team (nephrologist ,nurse,social worker, & dietition)' say i am a 'poster child' for PD. Am on the transplant list with CALPAC,and in process of getting on a second with Sacramento,Sutter Memorial. Am thankful that things are going well- so far so good[/color]

Nice introduction!   Very glad you joined this great site.  There is so much information here; everyone shares their experiences and can give more answers than some doctors.  The members are also very good at giving support and sometimes just make each other laugh!!   Looking forward to hearing more of your story. Post often.
