Hi all. My name is Sherry. I am new to learning about dialysis yet. My husband Greg just started on April 25th this year. I have read some things here that has really helped me understand a lot. He was put on the transplant list on March 7th. I am so glad to have found this site. It seems like a great place when a question needs answered.

I am sorry I did forget to tell everyone where we are from. We live in Chillicothe Ohio. My husband Greg is on hemo for now but he is hoping to be able to do it at home soon. Thank you all for such a warm welcome. I am sure I will be having lots of questions.

i am a 51 year old male on dialysis for 3 years now. This is my second time. My brother donated a kidney to me about 13 years ago. I found this site on another site. I had to laugh when i saw what it was called. I hope to meet people from all over to talk about dialysis.

I am also a caretaker to a kidney patient, this is a great place to get support.
The donor who gave my daughter a kidney is from Ohio! She rocks!
