Welcome to the site. Caregivers have a special place. I can't believe the crap my wife goes through because I developed ESRD.

Welcome to the site hithomas!

There are a number of caregiver members here at IHD.  Dialysis affects everyone in the family, this isn't confined to only the patient.  Family has to deal with our treatments as well and can be very frustrating when things don't go near perfectly.

Take Care,
