Hi my name is Jamie I have been on dialysis for almost four years. I had a transplant in 2006, which only lasted a year and a half. I have just recently been introduced to this site and I think it is awesome!!  I have a very supportive family, but it is nice to know I can come here to complain if I want!! My family and I show Arabian horses. My love for the horses has definitely helped keep my spirits up! I think it is important to have someone or something to help you keep going! Well I look forward to talking with everyone!! Thanks again for this site!!  Jamie |

Welcome to the site. I love Arabian horses. My grandparents had a ranch next to an Arabian horse farm. We used to walk over through three gates and go see the horses. Gorgeous.
