:welcomesign; I agree live life big. Life is too short and uncertain to do it any other way!! Hubby was always telling jokes and silly stories when he was in center. The nurses and the other people on dialysis still miss him a lot. We made a lot of good friends while he was in center.

I completely agree with you and I believe in a thing known as Nature Deficit Disorder. It has affected youth and adults alike all over the world. People need to understand the impoortance of sunlight, a fresh breeze and the sounds of nautre echoing from the tree tops and rivers. I am a new dialysis patient but I know I don't want to let it control my life or keep me locked inside. I am a kentucky girl and I belong in the woods with my kids Suzy-6 and AJ-10.
