Title: Atif Shabir from Islamabad Pakistan
Post by: atifshabir on September 05, 2010, 09:32:52 PM

Hi all,

I am Atif Shabir from Pakistan. I've been on dialysis for about two months. The cause of my renal failure was hypertension. I am planning to have a transplant after mid of this month.

 :welcomesign;  Welcome Atif.  My kidney failure was also due to undetected and untreated hypertension.  Congratulations on your upcoming transplant.  Who is giving you this great gift?  :waving;

 :welcomesign; Atif, and it's lovely to have you join us with such superb news. I would love to hear more about Pakistan, whether kidney related or not. My husband wants to know if you have any good curry recipes over there, but I told him I did not even know if Pakistanis normally ate curries? Perhaps you could settle this issue for us.

Love meeting people from different cultures! Please keep us updated on your progress.
