I dunno... premium membership got me thinkin... might have to put my limerising hat on.  Hmm.
there was a middle aged bird from oz
who pushed out a limerick becoz
she wanted to spare her hip
pocket the price of premium membership
but thats self defeating really because the good thing about premium membership is that your supporting IHD not the other way around.  So she'll have to eye off the tshirts and totebags instead.

hmm.. that one didn't come out the way I planned....  for a start the last line is too long.

Peritoneal dialysis,
Is, in the final analysis,
Good for the blood.
It gets rid of the crud.
And it won't ever cause you paralysis.


There once was a gal on PD
Who said to her friends, "Look at me!
I have this machine
That makes my blood clean
And now I never have to pee!"



Happy
Anniversary!

I think that what Epoman started and what all of you Admins & Mods are continuing is one of the best gifts to people struggling with CKD that anyone could hope for.

Medical Professionals are working and researching better ways to keep us alive (we always hope), but it is in the peer to peer support that we can help each other really live with CKD5.

Thank you, and Happy Birthday IHD!!!
