G'day Craig and welcome from a fellow aussie...

It's pretty tough finding out you only have a few weeks till you have to get on the blasted machine... that's very sucky.. I hope it's longer (13% function is a bit higher than the usual starting level, but it's all up to your symptoms - if you feel like crap, throwing up etc then you need dialysis.. if you are feeling more normal they may hold off).

This is a good community for support so hope to see you around on here.... remember there are no dumb questions...

As for the lovely IHD females... listen buddy I have been "on the list" longer... so I have priority!! :D :D :D :D :D

Welcome. As you know we have lots of Aussie's on board here.  I hope all goes well as you are on your way to life with dialysis.  If you need any advice, don't hesitate to come ask questions.

i am a 51 year old male on dialysis for 3 years now. This is my second time. My brother donated a kidney to me about 13 years ago. I found this site on another site. I had to laugh when i saw what it was called. I hope to meet people from all over to talk about dialysis.

 :welcomesign; Craig

Glad you made it another year without dialysis.  Hang in there maybe you will luck out again for a little while.

Hope you researched some information in the last year so you are more ready if that is possible.

Best wishes  :bestwishes;

Normie

 :boxing;  to that doctor---sure hope you did get a new one.  It is terrible not to tell a patient about their condition.
