Just got done listening to ZRod 103.7 Aurora it was very informative. I hope you have a good turn out at the clinic. Also I hope the new Dialysis machine donated by the Rotary will help with needed treatments. ...Boxman

I'm sorry you missed it Meinuk. The timing was off like LC said so I only heard half of it.

So, now I am hoping (hint hint) that Bajanne will post all about it!

Sorry I missed hearing it live!

If you missed this talk show this morning, you really missed one super intelligent woman ("bajanne" -- Aurora) talking about ESRD and dialysis.

Oh, goodness, Aurora, you are a fantastic speaker, and you represented those of us who struggle with dialysis so well (patients and caregivers).  Not only did she thoroughly and accurately tell about dialysis, she also got in a BIG plug for IHD !!  Aurora said that IHD was "a family with people from all over the world."  Then, she said, "This [talking about IHD] has been a tremendous support for me."

The other patient on the show, Joe, said, "We are normal people," and I thought that was so marvelous!  He also said dialysis was a "mind thing."  He said you had to learn to accept it and do the best you can when you're on dialysis.  The nurse who was on the show said that ESRD and dialysis has a "big impact" on the patients' families, too.  She said, "What effects one member of the family, effects all members of the family."

Aurora encouraged all in the listening area to go to the Health Expo for the screening tests.  She said, "It's free.  It's your health.  It's your life."

You were wonderful, Aurora, and I loved hearing not only your words but your voice.  You are an excellent spokeswoman for IHD, too!   :bow;  If you run for president of the US, you'll get my vote!

Thank you, Aurora!

 :thumbup; Glad to hear it went well! I was still sleeping  ::) but sometimes radio stations have it available for a few days online. Do you know if this is a possibility bajanne?

Here I am, taking the hint.  It all went very well. 
The programme was sponsored by the Rotary Club here.  Do any of you IHD members belong to Rotary?  As some of you would remember, Okarol put up an article about a $13, 000 donation that the Rotary made to the dialysis unit.  They have a weekly radio programme "Rotary Talks", and my supervisor asked me to be the female patient on the programme which this week dealt with kidney disease.
The Rotary Club is having a Health Day when people can get free monitoring of all the important things - blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, kidney monitoring, etc.
I had to let them know how IHD helped in my coping with dialysis.  It was a very informative programme.  The moderator of the programme was like most people - he had no real clue about kidney disease or dialysis, but he is much more informed now.  I told them that some of my IHD family would probably be listening and I am so proud that some of you did!  Thank you!
No picts - this was radio!

Do you  know if it is still available (I know some radio progs in the UK are available for a week or so after transmission?).   I couldn't work out the timing and completely missed it  ;D.  Would love to hear it if there is a listen again facility.

I was afraid this would happen...I forgot about it until about 12:30 this afternoon.  :banghead; :banghead; It sounds like you did a great job! Any word on if it's going to be online for a couple of days so maybe I could listen?

Sounds like you did a great job, and you enjoyed yourself.  Will you find out if we can listen on an archive online?  I had no access at that time today.  Kudos to you!!!!

I didn't get to hear it, Bajanne.  My media player wouldn't play it.
Boo-Hoo!

I didn't find out about it until just now!  :'(  Bajanne, can you post a link to the website so we can see if we can find an archived copy of the program?
Title: Re: Bajanne On The Radio
Post by: Bajanne on March 10, 2008, 03:17:38 PM
the website is www.zrodfm.com, but I didn't see anything about archives.  The only thing is that the producer told us he would give us a copy if we bring a blank cd.
