Hi everyone I'm new to this forum. I dialyse at home every other day and live in the UK.
I've now been on dialysis just over 35 years with no break in that time. I had one failed transplant back in 1985  and am no longer on the transplant list.
I went through University while on dialysis and have always worked full time.
Thanks for letting me join :)

Welcome, Axxerz! You've been at it for 35 years?! WOW! These days, a person is lucky if they get to keep the same job a few years without being laid off...

  :welcomesign;  Welcome to the site, no doubt you have much to contribute and teach to some of us underlings.
