Okay, I just spent over an hour writing an introduction only to be automatically logged out and lose it all.
Hello everyone, dialysis 20 years, feel great.  My other intro was much better.
I'll try again tomorrow.

Sorry that happened to you Rusty.  Welcome anyway!  Come back tomorrow and give it another shot.  This is a great forum.  So the year was 1986.......

Hey Rusty ... glad you can join us!

Looks like you're a "veteran" of dialysis.  Cool!

Ya there is a drop down menu. Select stay logged in forever ;)

These forums are much better than the ones I moderate on (D&T City). I got in the habit of typing everything up in notepad first! ;) I know how it feels to lose your whole post and be upset about it.

Anyway, welcome! What kind of dialysis are you on? I am still learning about Hemo.

Hi Rusty, welcome to our community.  I just love to hear about people like you who have been on dialysis for over 15 years.  You don't know the hope that it gives me!  Keep posting.  We are looking forward to the long intro when you have time.  I am sure that you have much to share with us.
Make sure you read the site rules, so things go smoothly and professionally.  This is a tremendous site, growing every day, and now you will be part of that growth!
We also have the fun side - arcade, chat, and Off Topics where you can post about anything.  This is not a one-dimensional site at all.

Hey Rusty.  I have had the same problem.  I figure the great white shark of the internet ate my post!  He gets pretty hungry out there on the internet ocean!  Welcome to the site!
