Hi all, my name is Diane and I have been reading this forum since I went on dialysis in April. I feel like I know all of you already!! I'm married with 3 kids, Gregg is 27, Tony is 26 and my "princess" Brittany is 17. My husband Greg is the best husband in the world!!
Both he and my brother went to be tested for donation, both were matches. The transplant center thought my brother was a better match.
I feel very blessed that I have 2 wonderful men like that in my life.
Anyway, my transplant is scheduled for Jan. 3rd.2011
I want to thank all of you for sharing your stories and information.

August 1980: Diagnosed with Familial Juvenile Hyperurecemic Nephropathy (FJHN)
8.22.10:   Began dialysis through central venous catheter
8.25.10:   AV fistula created
9.28.10:   Began training for Home Nocturnal Hemodialysis on a Fresenius Baby K
10.21.10: Began creating buttonholes with 15ga needles
11.13.10: Our first nocturnal home treatment!

Good health is just the slowest possible rate at which you can die.

The glass is neither half-full nor half-empty. The glass is just twice as large as it needs to be.

The early bird may get the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese.
