Post by: Grandma Kathy on July 02, 2009, 08:41:42 AM

Hello everyone,

I am a 62 year old mother of two girls and grandmother of 5 grandsons and one granddaughter.  I had a fairly normal life until this March when my kidneys shut down. I knew it was coming but still have not accepted it. I work full time and then spend three late afternoons and evening in dialysis.  It is tiring but it keeps me going.  This site seems like one that can keep anyone going and I am glad to finally be here.
