Title: Ex-husband is new to dialysis
Post by: DianneEx on December 28, 2010, 04:09:10 PM
I've never posted anything before, so we'll see if this works.  My ex-husband just started dialysis, coincident with a double bypass operation two weeks ago, but he seems to be doing impressively well on both fronts.  He is 65 years old, and our daughters are 25 and 21, and I am 53, and we are all new to dialysis, so I'm just looking for whatever information I can find to offer whatever support I can to my ex and our girls.  This website is the absolute best resource imaginable because it injects a little humor into what is otherwise a scary and unknown situation for us, so thank you to all of you for giving our family a place to get answers and support!  Warmly, Dianne

 :welcomesign; Dianne!

How beyond lovely of you to want to support your ex. That shows an emotional maturity that I dare say I shall never acquire. :laugh:

I hope you find all the information you're looking for here. Don't be shy, come join the discussions in the sections below....

Hi Dianne and welcome to IHD.  I have to say you are a much bigger person than I.... I can only hope my ex gets kidney failure so I can know he is suffering!   >:D

But, you will get support here and all your questions answered.  Thank you for joining.
