My name is Pam, I am 54 years old.  Married, three kids and five grandbabybears. I am a registered nurse with and have done hospice for 18 years. I have steroid induced diabetes and am now ESRD with a GFR of 13.  I'm getting ready to have a PD cath placed and will try that. I am not optimistic about any of this. My oldest child, and only daughter, passed away from ESRD.  She was on hemo for 11 years and decided to come off and go on hospice.  She was always so brave.  I think I am afraid that I won't be as brave as she was.  I am afraid and I can't talk to her about all this. Anyway, thank you for having me.

I am a caregiver to my wonderful husband,  He is 4p and started PD October 2013. We have several living donors waiting to be tested for a transplant. Dialysis is a bridge to get us where we need to go. 
He had a transplant in November 2019.

Hello Pnoe,
Welcome.
My condolences on the loss of a close one.
When push comes to shove, you will bear up wonderfully and strong.
Been there, experienced loss, ready to give up, yet did find strength to survive.

Be Well

"Wabi-sabi nurtures the authentic by acknowledging three simple realities: nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect."

Don't ever give up hope, expect a miracle, pray as if you were going to die the next moment in time, but live life as if you were going to live forever."

A wise man once said, "Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present."
