my name is Avi, I live in Israel, I am from NYC originally.
I am 42 years old and I have spina bifida and a neurogenic bladder, my kidney quit about 5 years ago and I was on dialysis for about a year. I then got a transplant, and that worked for about 3 years. I have been back on dialysis for about 7 months, I stopped making urine about a week ago so I am now having to watch my fluids and go 3 times a week.
My wife found this site for me, So here I am.
The lord knows I hate dialysis!

Hi Avi, and welcome to IHD. I would be interested on how you do dialysis in Israel. How long do you run per session? Do they have home dialysis available? Can't wait to hear how you are doing. Keep reading and posting.
