Welcome Brandy to IHD,

Thanks for introducing yourself, it is a good start. You have been fortunate to find us at this stage of ESRD. There is much to learn and this is the best place to learn from. Read all you can and ask questions when you have them. Don't be a stranger and soon you will figure out much more to say.

This is my second posting   and  I tell you .  You people already make me feel at home.  Thank You .  I cant wait to get to know alllllllllll of you .  I am smiling as I type this. :thx;There was so many replys  I honestly wasnt expecting to get tthat much o f a response.
Well alittle about myself.  I am 48 and a Diabetic with 4th stageCKDI have been doing alot of research on CKD And most of what I have learnt was from these forums   Direct from someone who has been there. I dont know how you can be so full of life  you show me it is a bad situation but you adapt and overcome. I know Im rambling but reading all things you have been through helps me understand what Im going to have to do    My heart goes out to all of you wonderful people :clap;
