Hi this is my first time signing onto a forum as a member. I'm on hemodialysis and have a fistula installed. Been on dialysis since November 06. In March my "thrill" was almost gone and it took a visiting dialysis Director to catch it.

As a result I had to have a balloon done and now all is fine, the thrill is back. So far I look forward to my dialysis treatments, the nurses and techs are nice to me and everyone else.

Looking forward to learning a lot about my care here.
I'm a born again Christian and Love the Lord and I'm learning to Love others on a daily basis.

Not sure what's next for me, so it's one day at a time.

WOW :thx; for the welcomes. Chills are running inside me with joy, everyone you have made me feel like i've found a new home. :grouphug;

My Father says we know not what to pray for or how to pray for it most of the time, so his Holy Spirit intercedes for us with groanings that can't be uttered so the best i can say about your welcoming me here is.

I LOVE YOU LIKE GOD LOVES YOU!

Nice pics.  Hubby is the one on dialysis.  Does nocturnal home hemo since Oct. 06.  Has done PD and in center for the past 10 years Never minded hemo treatments much.  Nocturnal is the best treatment that he has had.  FREEDOM!!  Done nighttime while you sleep so you have all the days to do what you want.
