Hi Everyone,

My name is Terry and I live in Missoula Montana. I lost most of my kidney function to Iga Nephropathy. I spent a short time on CAPD and am now on APD using a Baxter “Home Choice” cycler.  At 57 years I’ve survived heart disease and have a prosthetic aortic valve (1994) and Prostate Cancer (2006). Trying to stay positive and am on the kidney transplant list since Feb. 2009.

Hi, Silverstar!

Keep up the good attitude!  :2thumbsup;

You've been through an awful lot, but with a positive outlook you can overcome just about anything.

Welcome to a great place to learn, and make friends.  Never thought KIDNEYS would be such a big part of our lives..lol... but it is.  WE're making it work though, and brought dialysis home with nxStage in january.  Been good for us..   :welcomesign; and i hope you find it to be a comforting place here.  It gave me a whole new outlook on what we're liveing..

Hi Terry and welcome to IHD.  I'm so glad you found us.  Sounds like you have been through a lot lately.  I live in Washington State.  We are supposed to get a foot of snow tonight.  Oh joy!  Again!  I'm sure you have gotten your share!  Just hang in there and hope for that transplant.  Until then you are on a good system.

Stay tuned to IHD......
