Hello everyone,

My name is Glenda and I am 32 years old.  I am new to dialysis. I am currently on hemo but I will be changing to PD soon. I have been on dialysis now for 2 1/2 months.  I think it has been the scariest thing I have had to go thru.  I am glad that I found this site.  I hope to meet and make many friends.

Have a great day!            :yahoo;

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.

Welcome to our community.  This is just the place for you to be.  Here there is information (lots of it), support, fun, a place to vent when you need to.  This has become a second family to lots of us.  Looking forward to hearing much more from you.  Let us know how your shift from HD to PD goes.  I am on HD as that is the only type offered in the Caribbean country where I live.  Welcome again!
