 :welcomesign;  Carol, we are very glad you joined us.  This is the best site for kidney information and also, for support.  Any questions you have, someone here will have the answer.  We often say here "knowledge is power" so, read and learn everything you can and you will be better prepared for the future.   We are also here when you just need to be mad, scared or worried.   Looking forward to learning more about you.  Post often.   :grouphug;
