Hello Everyone, I wanted to introduce myself to everyone. My name is Kelsey and I am the girlfriend of a Dialysis patient. I am trying to understand as much as I can about what he is going through and this site looked like it would help me have more knowledge and understanding. I have already read a few posts that made me glad I found this site!! Looking forward to many posts!! -Kelsey  |

Welcome to our community. That was a great thing to do - to check out dialysis sites on behalf of a loved one. This is a great site for information and support, as well as the opportunity to vent, rant, rage, rave when you need to. this is not just a site - it has become a family. And this family has a big heart and lots of space for more family members.  So please read as much as you can, and post as much as you can. Let us know how your boyfriend is doing, and let us know how you are doing as well. Apart from topics to do with dialysis, we also have a crazy Off-Topic Section. Have a look - it is a scream at times! Looking forward to hearing from you. Bajanne, Moderator |
