Title: Hey, I do dialysis.
Post by: bervang on September 14, 2006, 02:43:01 AM

Hi, my name is Aarron, and yes my name is on purpose.

I am 26 and I have been on dialysis (of one form or another) since I was about 8.

Up until I was 14 I mixed transplants and CAPD (often at the same time...) until 1994 when I developed
Sclerosing Encapsulating Peritonitis. At that point the docs put me on haemo, which has been pretty excellent
health- and lifestyle-wise.

I currently dialyse in a self-care unit with newbies still in training.

Thats the nutshell version, happy to answer questions, and thanks for the site!

Welcome Aarron! I knew an Aaron once (notice his name is spelled differently though) who used to say his name was spelled "Double A Ron!" but I can't do that with your name :(

Anyway,  :welcomesign; :welcomesign; :welcomesign; Glad you are here!!
