Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself. My husband and mother-in-law both have esrf. My husband has been on dialysis about 2 1/2 years, my mother-in-law a little over a year.
They go to dialysis 3x a week together. My husband was scheduled for a transplant this month, but it was cancled due to a heart condition.

You sure do have your hands full with two family members on dialysis, there is a caregivers section here I am sure you will be able to relate to.

Welcome to our community!  I am so glad you have decided to join us.  This is a very helpful place to be - not just the information, but the sense of family that helps you through difficult periods as many can attest.  So, keep reading, and keep posting.  Let us know how your husband and mother in law are doing.   Also, feel free to vent when you need to. Here is a group hug from all of us. :grouphug;
