Theresa I'm glad you joined the site. I wish your husband would. If he really hates dialysis as much as I do we need to chat. I hope you both end up using this site for information and a good laugh. |

Welcome to our community! It is great that you have joined this site on your husband's behalf. Here is the place to come for information, support, a place to vent when you need to, and fun! We are a family here! Just keep reading and keep posting. There is also a section particularly for loved ones of renal patients. Maybe you can check it out as well. We are looking forward to hearing from you.  Bajanne, Moderator |

Being only into HD for 5 weeks I can agree with your husband. There are better things we could be doing but life has tossed us this paitch and we will have to live with it. Before i started I had very bad thoughts ablout it and life. While now it isnt the best there are things worse. I am a diabetic , have had heart problems since 1943 and now this. Of course art the ritus has come also but as long as my family understands I will take what life throws at me.Tell you DH things could be worse He could be a qudraplegic and bed ridden Southyard harold the old guy
