 :flower; hi forgot why I joined,  took awhile to be approved. however liked the name of website,  it fits my mood towards dialysis.  I have multiple conditions,  started out with RA for many years,  in constant pain, now many joint deformities, then they gave me orencia for the RA,  and I am pretty sure that's how I got lupus which quickly took my kidneys from me.  this whole being disabled and on life support machines suck to high heavens.  too many conditions to get on transplant list but working on it. well that's part of my miserable life.  hopefully it wasn't too depressing. tell me about you.

Hi ilovebirds, I'm so glad you found us.  You must be a "birder".  My friend is and goes on all kinds of outings for bird watching.

Hope you like it here.

I am a caregiver to my wonderful husband,  He is 4p and started PD October 2013. We have several living donors waiting to be tested for a transplant. Dialysis is a bridge to get us where we need to go. 
He had a transplant in November 2019.
