Title: Please allow me to introduce myself
Post by: caregiver66 on January 23, 2008, 12:51:10 PM
I want to start out by saying this is a great site, I have been lurking on and off a couple of years and the info has become invaluable. My dad will be starting dialysis hopefully in a month. He has been, for  the most part, quite stubborn about this to the point I fear is too late. I do tend to his needs such as transportation, etc...but I will have to step up a little more in this situation as I don't think my mother will be able to grasp the magnitude of the Nxstage home treatment. I will be bombarding you with questions in all topics so please bear with me.

Bring on all the questions you have Caregiver66. Welcome to ihatedialysis.com

If you have been lurking since the site has been around then you know how tight knit we have become. Thanks for taking time out of your schedule to introduce yourself. Remember being a caregiver can be trying at times but make sure you take time out for yourself.

I am also stubborn!  When my last transplant was failing I waited a whole lot longer than my doctor wanted.  My Creatinine was off the charts!  I was real sick for a while and got sick to my stomach on dialysis for a while but I eventually got better.

Welcome to our community!  You chose the best day of the  year to join - my birthday!!!!!  i am glad you finally decided to become a part of this wonderful family.  I don't have to sell you on it - the fact that you lurked for a while means you see what a great site it is.  So continue to read, but now we expect you to post and let us know how your father is doing, step by step.  We are here for you, and for him.  Just continue to take advantage of all this site/family has to offer.

Welcome. Remember your Dad has to make his own decisions as to what he wants out of treatment.
