Hi, My mom is actually the one on dialysis and she started living with us a few months ago. Since she started dialysis i have been scoping the net to learn about stuff that may come up and found you today. Congrats on this site!  She started dialysis last February after a bout of pneumonia and threats for several years. I knew that I had finally learned something about dialysis when I could spell dialysis without looking.  Anyway, have a good day! |

Welcome Mom4. I think you will find this site very insightful. There are many many posts, but just weed through them and if you have a question, ask. Best of luck to your Mother. Where are you guys from?? |
