Hello all, glad to have found you!  My husband is brand new dialysis; currently on in-site hemo until his PD training is complete.

So I beat on my chest till my song has been sung
And I cry like a wolf at the top of my lungs
And stand with my face to the wind
With the storm beating down on this sacred ground
If I stand for the grace that I've known
For what I believe
Then I won't stand alone

i am a 51 year old male on dialysis for 3 years now. This is my second time. My brother donated a kidney to me about 13 years ago. I found this site on another site. I had to laugh when i saw what it was called. I hope to meet people from all over to talk about dialysis.

Welcome Speedracer,

Great time for you to find us. There is lots of information here at your keypad, any questions just ask them. It takes a special person to be a caregiver so I commend you and think your husband is lucky to have you.

Feel free to post as often as you like and get involved because knowledge is power when it comes to your husbands care.

Welcome to our community.  This is just the place for anyone in anyway connected to the renal challenge.  I am always very pleased when loved ones take the initiative to find information and support for the people they care about.  Please take advantage of all this site has to offer.  Keep posting and let us know how he is doing.
