Hi from Panama!!

Hi,
first I want to excuse me for my english,
My name is Carlos Lopez Denham, I'm from Panama (a little country on the middle of the American continent, just beside Costa Rica), I have a twin brother who is 23 years nephropathy, he had a transplant for 16 years (our sister gave to him) and lost it 7 years ago, now makes PD. To me, five years ago I was diagnosed with chronic renal disease also, and since I also do PD. Currently we have 51 years old, graphic designers both, but I also teach at the University. I want to learn from your experiences and share ours.
thanks everyone!!

Carlos! Your English is very good! There are many helpful people on this site. It has helped me so much on this journey. It sounds like you have a very busy life, and are handling the PD well. I hope you continue with that! Looking forward to hearing more from you. Best of luck!
