Hi my name is Chryl and my father in law is on dialysis and he really hates it. I also work on a critical care floor at a hospital and about 80 % of the patients we get are on dialysis. I want to get all the information I can on here to help my father in law and my patients as well. :flower;

Welcome to IHD, Chryl.

There's lots of good info in here - diet suggestions for your FIL, humor posts for when he needs a boost, and perspectives on dialysis from thousands of patients on all modalities and of all ages.  Take a look around; I'm sure you'll find plenty of useful things!

Welcome to IHD, I'm so glad you found us.  It would be great of you to pass this site on to those patients that have internet.  It helps so much to talk to someone who has the same problem or has experienced something they are now struggling with.  I hope you can use this for your FIL too.

Hello and welcome to our group.  It sounds like you are in a position to steer quite a few people this way, patients as well as caregivers.  We hope we can help in some way. 

Bless you for being willing to learn and try to help you FIL.   :clap;

Welcome and so glad you found IHD!  Good bunch of people here and full of info!  Ask anything you want and by the way, have your FIL take a peak!  This site I believe he would find very interesting for his needs!  Sorry you had to come here for him, but this is an excellent place for you and him!

God Bless,     :flower;
