Title: Hi from New Zealand
Post by: Hanify on April 26, 2009, 08:19:38 PM

Hi everyone.  I am 45 and female.  Married with one daughter who is 12.  I was diagnosed late 2007 with multiple myeloma, and for some reason my kidneys were attacked.  By Jan 2008 I was on haemodialysis.  It was really sudden, so I have spent the last year and a half catching up with all the stuff most people learn before they start dialysis at all.  I did haemo for 3 months, then transferred to peritoneal (thank God).  Having done both I am definitely a fan of peritoneal!  I am now doing CAPD, which is even better as it frees up my day.  Really enjoying reading all the posts!  Great title by the way - I'm sure we all feel the same about the daily grind of dialysis!!
