Title: Hello I am Earlinda
Post by: Earlinda on February 23, 2007, 04:54:39 PM: I just joined the group and I wanted to write a few lines to introduce myself. My name is Earlinda and I am 43 years old. I started in center hemodialysis in August 2004. I am currently working on the process of home hemodialysis with the NxStage system. It is an exciting time for me because I have wanted to do my dialysis at home since the beginning and now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself. This website is intended to be your home away from home, offering advice when you need it, an occasional laugh and even more importantly an ear to listen to you when you ask questions, or just need to vent.

A thread you may find interesting here just for fun http://ihatedialysis.com/forum/index.php?topic=2660.0

It sounds like you will have a few stories to share with us as well.

Great seeing you hear. I've enjoy your posts at Renal Romance.
