Seems as though I've been introduced already.... *Cough*

I'm Pythons son, Ian (or Known as Shades to my net mates)    8)

I'd like to say Hi to everyone and a big thanks to everyone who sent encouragement while I was in hospital.

I'm still recovering from the Op, aches and pains, you know? and the Itchyness of the new lines are driving my a little bit barmy  :D

odd as it sounds, I'm missing my PD at the moment... you'd think a break from it would be welcome.... but i think I am a bit  attached to it! (no pun intended!  :D )

hope to hear from you all soon!

Welcome! It is great to meet Python's son finally.  Well, we are here for you.  Ask your questions, share your ups and downs.  You have a lot of posts to read.  You will find many of them extremely helpful, as I did.  Looking forward to hearing more from you.
We have an arcade, where some people need teaching a lesson.  Have a go!

Its Nice to hear from you all, and Mattyboy, we are a rare breed aren't we?  :D   

however, I've been hearing of more and more people who have Alports and its nice to know We (me and Python) aren't the only ones.

well, as stated before, I'm still recovering (from what seems to be another blunder in a line of em by a hospital  >:( )

....

I'm not going to say much more at the moment, I've just gotten outta bed 10 minutes ago, and i need to have at least half a cup of tea before my brain kicks in proper....

Yessss, It's good to be here, informative, interesting and friendly people to ask questions/give help... and to talk about our experiences on dialysis (or just rant about it, doctors and hospitals in general  >:D )

Shades,

I have Alports as well, I thought I was the only one who had it.  I still might be the only one who has it in Texas!
