Hallo Sluff,
               welcome and I am sorry that you have to be prepared. But you are on the right site for good advice, compassion and kind understanding. I hope you might be lucky to get treatment and avoid dialysis. Research is going on all the time and who knows... Please let us know how things develop. Best wishes and kind regards from Kristina.

Welcome Sluff!

My crystal ball tells me that:  you are
creative and humorous, with the perfect
amount of machismo thrown in.  And you
would give the shirt off your back if necessary.
You'll fit in just perfectly here.

(Thanks for all you do, Sluff)

Sluff, you look familiar??

Welcome to the site and just enjoy life and don't worry about the pending dialysis.  When you have NO energy left you will have all the time in the world to read up on this process.   ;D

Spread the word about this site.  It is amazing how fast it is growing.  ::)

You DO look kind of familiar. Haven't I seen you somewhere before...?  :clap;

Not telling!!     :rofl;   :rofl;
