Hey there. I wanted to introduce myself so I don't appear as just a lurker.
My name is Marie. My father has been dealing with renal failure for the last
year or so. He's been in the hospital for the past week for diabetes,was released
Friday only to go back last night for kidney failure. Major fluid backup. Dialysis is
being discussed.

So I'm here to learn more and understand what he is going through. Lots of things
I've read so far have given me hope, and I'm sad for the members who you have lost  :(

I guess thats about it for now. If I don't come back to the thread, I'm not being rude,
just absorbing as much info as I can. This is a awesome site!! :thumbup;

Best of health to you all,
Marie

Welcome to the site.  You have come to the right place for answers to questions about ESRD and dialysis.
