IHD Members:


We, the administrators of IHatedialysis.com, have been searching the member lists and discussing a new moderator coming aboard to help us with the site as it grows larger and larger.


Please welcome Darthvader as our newest moderator to IHateDialysis.com. 

Darthvader has been on the site since 2009. She is a care giver to her mum. She greets people and is very welcoming to all.


Her introduction:Hello everybody...

My name is Carolyn... I'm forty-four years old, wheelchair user, single but open to offers, (Gentlemen, shall I take your running to the hills screaming. as a 'No' then???) and I'm caring for my mum who is in ESRF since May '07...

My mum is Elsie... Seventy-one years old, wheelchair user...

Mum was on Haemo for about thirteen months, but it became VERY stressful... Now on CAPD... Doing MUCH better on this... Despite two bouts of Peretonitis...

I'm very much looking forward to geting to know everyone, and thank you for accepting me into your community...

God bless you all...

Love...

Darthvadar...
