Hi Lenny, my Grandma's name was Lennie. I love that name for Man or Woman. Anyway, welcome to IHD. If you hate dialysis this is the place. If you don't want to say anything nice.... sit next to me. |

Diagnosed with ESRD-November 2006
I have had 2 fistuals-neither one worked
I have had 2 grafts the last one finally "took"
I had 3 different catheters from Nov. 06 - Dec. 08
Got on the transplant list - Halloween Day 2008
You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE SOOOOO TRUE!

Welcome aboard, Lenny. I've been on PD for 5 years now. If I have to have dialysis, PD is the way to go! Come back and post often and keep us updated.
