My name is Eugene and I live in Romania. I'm 33, I'm a computer programmer and I had a kidney transplant done about 2.5 years ago. So far so good with some small issues on the way, thanks God. Never did dialysis, but I had a fistula made before the transplant, which is still working and pumping hard and I'm keeping it for the worst case scenario.
I have 2 kids (boys, 3 and 4 years old). I found out about my ERSD about the same time my wife knew she was pregnant, but that's another story I may share with you.

I've been lurking for years but now the time to ask this great comunity some questions had arrived.

Thank you

You've had an exciting few years, haven't you? I hope things continue to go smoothly with the transplant.
