Hi everyone! My name is Tabitha and I live in Central Florida with my husband and our 2 dogs. I have two grown children, one living near by and one out of state. I am a type one diabetic, diagnosed when I was 13 years old. I have been on hemo for almost 4 years now. I tried to get on a transplant list, but I've had other health problems. Dialysis certainly isn't my favorite thing, but I try the make the best of it  . I enjoy knitting and reading, both of which I can do while on the machine. I am excited to find this website and look forward to getting to know you all! |

Welcome to the group. I had to laugh at your handle, as my friend and I run a renal support group called Kidney Beings, and our tee shirts have a picture of (you guessed it) kidney beans!
