Welcome to our community!  You have found the best place to be for those who hate (but depend on) dialysis!  I am sorry to hear that you can't have a transplant, but life goes on, doesn't it?  And now you are part of a wonderful caring and sharing family  :grouphug; - a set of people with big hearts and broad shoulders.  Just keep reading and keep posting.  Let us know how your renal journey is going and we will be with you all the way.
