Hello Everyone:
I'm Mimi.  I joined IHD about a year ago and then forgot about it  :urcrazy;.Anyway I'm to go on the machine by the end of the year and thought I'd better get my ducks all in a row.  There's lots of questions roaming around
in my head.  I hate to tell you guys this, but I am 74 years old and I know you feel like you are overrun with old
people, but I really am young at heart. ;D  I live in Georgia, about an hour south of Atlanta and I have two grown children and four :o grown grandchildren.  SEE, I'm old as dirt!  Oh, the joy of it all. :clap;  OK, everyone that's about it.  See you on the boards.
 :yahoo;
Love, Mimi

Mimi, your not too old, there's two people in my center at 92 and 94. The 92 year old drives herself to the center. Numbers mean nothing as long as you stay young at heart. Best to you on your treatments

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.
