Hello. I'm Honeysuckle. My husband has been in hemo dialysis for 4 years and paratoneal now.
I'm really interested in hearing others takes on the things we are going through and are going to be.
We hate dialysis ..... but have to have it!

I am a caregiver to my wonderful husband,  He is 4p and started PD October 2013. We have several living donors waiting to be tested for a transplant. Dialysis is a bridge to get us where we need to go. 
He had a transplant in November 2019.
