Title: Introduce myself
Post by: Vsevier on September 03, 2010, 07:04:35 AM

Hi I am Vivien Sevier,

I am from Houston, Tx.   Two years ago I was diagnosed with ESRD.  I was put on dialysis immediately.  I hate Dialysis.  I'm on the machine right now.  I finally convinced the unit manager to get WiFi so I would be able to use my laptop and I wouldn't be so bored.

Welcome Vivien. Yes, boredom is a very common problem at dialysis. I'm glad you got WiFi and can do some internetting while on the machine!!

Hey, I'm from Houston, too!  I was down there just 6 weeks ago.  Whereabouts in the city are you?

I'm not on dialysis yet, but it's just a matter of time, and I know I'm gonna hate it!

Thank all of you for the warm welcome.  I am doing ok.  Considering PD at home now after 2 years.  On transplant active list Dr. says maybe in 6 more months I should get a call.  Going on my first trip for a week and gonna have to get dialysed at a guest unit in San Marcos Tx.  I do't know what to expect.

Has anyone on dialysis gone on a cruise.  Please tell me about the procedures.  I so want to go on a cruise.  Looking forward to hearing from you.

Be Blessed.
