I've been going back and forth the past few weeks not knowing what to do. My wife and I wanted to move out of MA and I've been having serious issues with my PD clinic and nephrologist as some of you know that have been reading my posts. Well we finally found a solution. We are moving to NH. My wife can still keep her job so I can stay on her insurance and we are still moving out of this state but are close to Boston. I'm looking forward to getting a fresh start with a new clinic. I called the PD clinic in Nashua today and they seemed very nice. I explained everything and they seem like they are eager to help me. I have to go through Davita which is a little different for me but I'm sure it will be fine. I also have an appointment with a nephrologist at Beth Israel hospital in Boston in August so I can restart the transplant process. I've heard from a few dialysis patients that are local that BI is much better than MGH and I should have a much easier time. I'm very excited and hopeful about the future!
