Title: Hi There...Introducing Myself
Post by: RedsMom on September 17, 2007, 07:51:44 AM: :waving;
Thought I would pop in to say HI.
I am the caregiver of my 36 yr. old daughter, who I will call Red, who has been on dialysis for 8 !/2 yrs. She had multiple things wrong with her prior to dialysis. And since dialysis has started a multitude of more problems has popped up. But as the new problems arise I just go to my "One Day at a Time" Motto.
She deals with dialysis pretty well. Loves to go see all of her friends. Mind you she does had her bad days. Her unit is a very small one and everyone is pretty much just like family.
I have looked through the site and love it. It is a place where you can vent and know there are people out there in the same boat you are in and your NOT ALONE!

If you ever feel alone and no one understands there is usually someone on the site to listen. You will also get the truth which sometimes people don't want to hear. So, take some time to read all the categories and jump right in.
