This link got a 404 error but I found it here:

It took maybe three minutes to read and it is frightening and heartbreaking. I think of my Mom and what she went through. I'm thinking of my family members and what they may have in their future and I think what I have avoided, so far.

Thank you for posting.

Thanx for posting Okarol. I forwarded the link to some family members and friends  :angel;
Just because I can. I’ve been doing this nonsense for 27 years now, and that’s besides the 13 years I enjoyed my dad’s kidney.


Too late for me for a TX, but Home D (peritoneal and hemo) really are a (not as horrific ) alternative.
