Hello to all
My name is Tony and I hail from Cyprus, I'm a Brit expat, been here 14 years. Started hemo 8 months or so ago and have to say, apart from the boredom, sitting doing nothing for 4 hours, I don't have any problems so far. The unit at Limassol General hospital is great, and all the nurses and docs are good, attentive and once you get to know them, a laugh. Makes hemo a lot easier. Glad to have found this informative site.

Husband had ESRD with Type I Diabetes -Insulin Dependent.
I was his care-partner for home hemodialysis using Nxstage December 2013-July 2016.
He went back to doing in-center July 2016.
After more than 150 days of being hospitalized with complications from Diabetes, my beloved husband's heart stopped and he passed away 06-08-21. He was only 63.

Welcome to IHD Tony!  Glad to have you as part of our 'Family'.

I take my laptop to treatments and watch documentaries during treatments.  Time flies when I am rapt up in studying something interesting.

Hello Tony. Glad to hear dialysis is not a problem for you, hope that continues (I expect it will because 8 months should be enough for any possible problems to show themselves). Welcome to the site.

Quick question Tony: I noticed that in another thread you say:

I'm a Brit living in Cyprus, I'm lucky that my costs are covered by European health card, meaning the UK NHS pays for my treatments.

Curious what your plans are for the future, because after Brexit is finalized, that will probably end?

Hi Paul, I'm assured it won't, but I also have cypriot cover, just have to apply.
