Title: Hello from the Girlfriend
Post by: MissJune1967 on July 22, 2009, 10:00:11 AM

  Hi.  I've been dating a guy (my neighbor of 10 years)  for almost a year now who has been on dialysis for 15 years.  I'm hoping to learn more about dialysis.  I found this site last night after doing a search for recipes and it looks like a great place.  Anyways, that's my story.   :flower;

 :welcomesign; Miss June,

Is your boyfriend an IHD member? 15 years on dialysis is a long time. Does he do PD or Hemo dialysis? I would imagine after 15 years, he is an expert.  I am also a caregiver. My 15 year old daughter was on dialysis for 18 months and got a new kidney July 4th of this year!!! :2thumbsup; My 18 year old daughter has a kidney function of 18-25% and is in denial about her kidneys ever failing. I hope she prooves the doctors wrong.

There is a wealth of knowledge on this forum and lots of support. I am glad that you joined.

It is great you want to know more about what your boyfriend is doing on dialysis. Welcome to the boards! There is a section for caregivers, but you can go anywhere on   the board you want for information and conversation!

Welcome to our community, Miss June!    I am always gratified when people join IHD because of their concern for a loved one.  This is just the place to be for information, support, and even lots of fun.  In fact, this is much more than just a website - it is a genuine, caring and sharing family.  :grouphug; Stick around and you will find out.  Just keep reading and keep posting.  Is your boyfriend a member?  If not, tell him he needs to join.
