Hello to all haters out there.  I've been on hemodialysis for four and a half blissful years, yeah right!  I've had my ups and downs.  A lot of downs for the past year.  Now, i have surgery to look forward to in couple of weeks to put a new access in my leg!  Whoopie!!!!  I have the catheter in my neck for now...hurts quite a bit.  Anyway, hope I'm not too much of a downer.

Welcome Susan! I have been on Hemo since July of 2005 and still have the Catheter in. After awhile it doesn't hurt anymore .. but I wish I could just stick with the catheter instead of the fistula ;)

Please share! :) Are you in the States?
