Hello,
My name is Amos. I was diagnosed with Renal Failure about 6 months ago after having difficulty breathing one night. Currently, I am waiting for my AVF to mature and trying to get on a transplant list.

I know you will find a lot of good information and support here on IHD. Let us know how we can help you.
Good luck with getting listed for a transplant. It can be a long process, but it is worth it.

Glad to have you join us Amos!
Did youo have a vatheter put in so you could start Dialysis or are you still getting by without, waiting for that fistula to mature?
Many of us were in dire need thus a Perma Cath was stuck in so immediate treatment could be started. I was greatly surprised just how easily the Dr yanked out my Perma Cath. Just YANKED and held direct pressure on the site sort of the same as after a blood draw, only longer.
Sure not long for the amount he gets paid. Wish I had such a job!
