I've been on dialysis since 1981.

If I loved dialysis, there would have to be something
else wrong with me and isn't this enough?

Already made me laugh!  Glad you're here.   ;D

When my husband starts dialysis I'm going to bug the heck out of all you old pros. 

Welcome. :)

So true!  Everytime I accept my fate and find the positive out of my situation, everything collapses.  Love your point of view!  Welcome!!!

Hi Hemohortensia, sounds like you found the right site.  We don't like dialysis, but stick it out.  Hey, it is between you and Zach who has been "hooked up" longer.  Welcome to our site and be sure and read the rules and regulations in the general introduction area.
