Home hemodialysis since May 07
« on: August 13, 2008, 08:53:39 AM »
91.7 WVXU in Cincinnati will air a story on home hemodialysis featuring my family this Sunday morning between 7:00-8:00 a.m. on a show called "Cincinnati Edition." It will stream live that morning on wvxu.org, or you can listen to it archived on Monday at wvxu.org click Programs then Cincinnati Edition. The reporter was on hand when I was getting hooked up and then went to my center to see in-center patients and talk to home training nurses.

Just a small attempt to do something good with all this....

Thanks all...I think the reporter did a nice job. When I took her to my training center, the woman she spoke with was in her first day of training...and everything was going wrong! But she said no matter what, she was going to make this work She was awesome.

Thanks again for checking it out.
