Hello,

My name is Cherry. I have been on hemodialysis for four years and three months. My clinic is my second family and we are getting alone very well. I love the outdoor activity and run several miles every Sunday. It is tough but I keep doing this hoping that it would improve my energy level.

It is very relaxing to see nice people here. I have read posts on the board and got a lot of information. Thanks a lot.

Welcome to our community, Cherry!  I am so glad that you found us, and found the site helpful.  I will be four years on dialysis in September.  I found this site the month before I started and it was such a help to me.  Just to let you know that IHD will now be your third family :grouphug;  Just keep reading and keep posting so that we will know how you are doing.
Looking forward to hearing from you, :flower;
