We just reached membership total of 7,000, and while it may seem unusual to celebrate, knowing that so many people need dialysis, we have good reasons to acknowledge this milestone. Each person that finds their way here is one more member that will learn something, share a little, and become a part of this amazing forum that has come to mean so much to many of us. I hope everyone affected by kidney disease can find a home here. Welcome tbugosh!! You will receive a one year Premium Membership for FREE as our gift to you!

Congratulations, Tbugosh!   You have landed in a great spot.  Lots of information, friends and understanding.

I wonder what Epoman and Goofynina are thinking?  Epoman had a big dream and I think the admins have done an amazing job keeping his dream alive.    7000!    :2thumbsup;

Good Evening,

Talk about a late reply... Well, better late than never. Originally came here much like many other in search of information regarding Dialysis. Can now say that while I'm not an expert, I am very comfortable with the process (began Dialysis April 2011) and am now on my second fistula.

We are almost at our 9,000 member.  But you were King for a day!

Glad you are doing well.
