 Hello Everyone,
                          My wife had dialysis for the first time three years ago, we are both in our sixties, so every thing came as a shock, not Knowing any thing about Dialysis . But I am happy to say that we now dialize at home , and have done for over a year. Only had a few mishaps on  home , nothing serious. it has been a long journey and have meet so many people on dialysis along the way.  Best Wishes Happy  Christmas to you all.

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.
