Hi everyone. I'm new here. Everyone calls me Buni.I'm 39,single no children. I take care of my mom...she is only 65, but totally disabled.
My mom is on dialysis(has lots of other health problems too)....she has been on it for 6 years and has had the worst time. Her accesses just won't stay open so she has had many operations and at the moment has tessio caths in her chest....*sigh*
I hope to get to know you all....
I'm visiting family right now, but will be back here when I get back home.
Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving.(((hugs)))

Welcome to our community! Lots of hugs for you too.  I am always touched when people are here because of their loved one. I hope that all goes well for your mom. And you, just keep on keeping on. I am aware that it is not easy, but I am always amazed at the strength of the human spirit when we rise above our circumstances. Bajanne, Moderator |

Hello buni and welcome to IHD. I hope some of the experiences you have had with your Mother and her dialysis will be shared here as well as any victories. I hope by entering into the IHD kingdom (J/K) you will learn from others and hopefully you and your Mom will gain knowledge. See you in the forums, don't be afraid to post and ask questions, that's why we are here. Sluff/ Admin

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 Buni! We all know about the roller coaster that is CKD/ERSD and whatever other alphabetic concoctions you can come up with...but that means we're good about venting, complaining, questioning, wondering, pondering and all that. So jump in when you can, watch for us in the chat room, and keep taking such loving care of your mom!

Glad you found us. This is a great site for both information and support. You are a blessing to your mother and I am sure she appreciates all you do. This isn't a fun disease for either the patient or caregiver. Looking forward to hearing more from you!
