Hello my name is Viv (female) residing in Los Angeles.

I am a caregiver for my husband , married 42 years, who has been on dialysis since July 2010.  I read with interest the forum especially the  caregiver section.  We all seem to go through the same problems.  This gives me confidence that I am not alone.  We go to dialysis 4 times a  week and  with all the other work I have to do, I don't have much time to write.  When my husband goes on the machine, I go  for a long walk near the center.  This is a  great stress reliever and I recommend anybody to do  this.

Looking forward  to  interact with other members.
Thanks
Viv
