This web site is awesome!  I am a young service industry professional.  Most of the work I have done has been culinary related.  I develop standardized recipes and train employees in commercial kitchen operations.  Experiencing renal failure, mostly without notice, I am taking some time away from work but hoping to return sooner rather than later.  I am doing HD 3 times a week right now so working seems a bit of a stretch.  I am a single male (by choice), who loves the simple, pure moments, that life makes possible.  I am adventurous and fairly well educated.  I believe in taking chances, without them nothing would be possible.  I like to debate and I hope to challenge some of you.  Philosophy and psychology turn me on.  Thanks for having me.

Hi George,

I've been on dialysis 9 year's, 8 of those Full Time.  Talk to your co-workers, you would be surprised how supportive they will be, once they understand what your going through.  Invite them to come and visit you at dialysis!!!! ;)

Hey George,

Welcome to IHD.

I too was a culinarian until I fell prey to PKD and ESRD. It's still a passion but only for my closest family and friends. I even went to one of those prestigious culinary schools. I feel like it was all a waste now.

Where did you go to school?  Tell me more about what you did and what what you do now.  I can appreciate how you feel, although I don't think anything we do is a waste of time.  You just never really know for sure.
