Hi Slugger,

Welcome, I am new too. I just started one month ago.

So how is it? Has it helped you feel better? What got you in The Chair?

Hi Slugger, Good to have you aboard although I guess you would not want to be aboard at all. I have been on Hemo for 3 years and only have really come to terms with being a dialysis patient in the last year, it takes time to except having kidney failure. Will contact you further down the track. Any information that you want?

Greg.

You three folks, all being newbies will forge an incredible friendship, I hope. And in the meantime,   :welcomesign;  to IHD. This is the place to get your questions answered. Hope you enjoy the site and hope you all have pain free treatments too.
