Which island?

Do you know the area? I live on Hornby Island, the most beautiful of all the Gulf Islands, floating between Vancouver Island and the mainland (north of the San Juan Islands, for you US-types). Living in the midst of all this natural splendour takes alot of the bite out of kidney failure -- even though I'm tired all the time, I can still walk on the beach and life feels very worthwhile. I just hope I get to stay here through all the ups and downs to come.

Welcome aboard from another Canadian.  My GFR is also around  22  and  I am tired a lot as well.  Its  hard for other people ( not here )  that have good kidneys to understand.  We look OK so we are just expected to he perfectly healthy.   Do you still work ?   Lets stay in touch.    :canadaflag;

i am a 51 year old male on dialysis for 3 years now. This is my second time. My brother donated a kidney to me about 13 years ago. I found this site on another site. I had to laugh when i saw what it was called. I hope to meet people from all over to talk about dialysis.

You said it! I went and checked out the pics of the Virgin Islands on your website -- what a beautiful place! Do you find that being close to nature helps you get through your day?

Hi Razman, great to see so many other Canadians here, and people from all over the world! I guess Toronto is about as far from my little island as you can get in Canada (in size if not geographically). I do still work, but only part time -- the fatigue and confusion mean I can't do alot that I used to. How do you cope with it?
