Title: Hello everyone a newbie here
Post by: Sher224 on June 01, 2007, 08:38:08 PM: Hi all. My name is Sherry. I am new to learning about dialysis yet. My husband Greg just started on April 25th this year. I have read some things here that has really helped me understand a lot. He was put on the transplant list on March 7th. I am so glad to have found this site. It seems like a great place when a question needs answered.
