Title: Hi, I'm Rhonda and my dad just started dialysis
Post by: RhondaQ on October 04, 2006, 07:08:59 PM
I am the caregiver to my 82 year old father who just started dialysis a little over a week ago.  I live here at home with my husband, dad and little dog Buddy.  There are so many questions we have that I thought it best to introduce myself briefly and take some time to read a few of these posts to familiarize myself with all of you and the site, etc.  I'm happy to have found you all:)

We are happy that you found us as well!  I am very empathetic, since I took care of my father the last few years of his life - he died at 89 from kidney failure (he was never dialysed).  This is a place to get answers, to ask questions, to answer some, to vent, to rage when necessary (even to play games and just interact with others in the community)
