 :)Hello everyone, my name is Anthony, and I live in Georgia.  I was diagnosed with Kidney Disease while in the military in 2007. I started PD in April of this year.  It has been a big transition for me, but I am still enjoying life.  I stay motivated and enjoy life by spending time with my wonderful wife and two beautiful daughters.  I continue to weight lift and not let this disease beat me.   I do not let Dialysis  define who I am....

That's great to hear!  We love to hear about people who are doing well on dialysis, so thanks for telling us!  Welcome to our forum.  I know that quite a few new members are learning about dialysis, so since you seem to be an old pro, I know you will have lots of good advice for them.

Cartwan, hello and welcome to IHD.  I'm so glad you joined us.  I try not to let this disease beat me either.

Come here to lean about dialysis and transplants.  Maybe get a few smiles.
