DECAF!?!? I don't need no stinkin' DECAF!
« on: February 19, 2007, 01:32:37 AM »
 :popcorn;  Just like a 40's drama:  went to ER for UTI and found out I had 17% kidney function; shortly thereafter went to 12% and started hemodialysis - no decision making, no planning, no argument.                         3 ports in chest
                                       4 failed fistulas left arm
                                       3 failed fistulas right arm
                                       usable graft right arm
Am in hemo dialysis for over a year now and thought at first life had turnedd real ugly and hopeless.  Got a computer and due to ESRD web sites I am finding ways to cope, hope, and smile.  Luv this site and just know I'll be here often.  (...and the wisdom to know the difference...ahh, there's the rub)

:thx;  Thanks to all of you for welcoming me to IHD.   I really do feel comfortable and safe here.  Such nice warm fuzzies - I'm in other groups but was never responded to like this.  Just know I'll be coming back often and participating.   ;D  Yippee! Maybe I can speak my piece/peace and find "the Wisdom to Know the Difference."

Hello Sallyd and welcome to our site.  You have already helped someone.  ME!  I didn't know you could go through so many accesses and still be alive.  What kind of access are you using now?

I always tell people "Dialysis is only as good as your access" so my successful dialysis is limited.  I have bad veins.

Hope you find this site educational as well as entertaining.            :welcomesign;
