Title: Tennessee Girl!
Post by: TynyWonder on June 11, 2008, 08:52:44 PM
I was on here a while back but I retired from my job where that was the only place I had access to a computer.  I am from Alabama but I have since moved to Tennessee to be close to an Aunt & Uncle here as I no longer had any family in AL.  I have been on dialysis since December 2006 and I have a catheter that I am using.  The doctors/surgeons have tried THREE freaking times to put in an access but they have all failed.  I am a 38 year old female and I have "fur babies", 2 beautiful cats named Tipper & Sandie.  I am hoping to make friends here and learn more about dialysis from others on a more personal level versus hearing it all from med staff.    I am open to any questions anyone might have for me.  Thanks for your time!   :bandance;

Welcome, TynyWonder....just keep on moving north and you'll end up in God's Country (Kentucky). I'm sure you'll find this site informative as well as entertaining.

Welcome back Tyny! :) I am so looking forward to seeing piccies of your babies... I am owned by a cat too but I don't dare call her a fur baby because she runs my life and I could get in big trouble for not telling everyone she is the one in charge!!!! :) I think this explains why I'm still single... no gf can get a look in with the way I am under her paw! LOL :)

Again welcome back and hope to see more from you! :)

Hello
 I am new to this but have been on dialysis since February 08 this time. I had a transplant in February of 2001 and found out at the end of last year it was failing and time to go back to dialysis. My fistula was put in back in 2001 and is still working Thank God. I hope to hear from you some time. Drop me a little message anytime you want and I will respond. I enjoy talking to people. Gets kind of lonely sitting at home with only my big baby of a dog we have.
