I am new here.

I have been on Dialysis since May of 2013. I am new here, and I am looking forward to meeting new people.

Hi Teresa

I started hemo this past January due to End Stage Renal Disease. I did Peritoneal dialysis for 6 months prior to that but I couldn't keep my Albumin up.

I know our schedules are difficult, but we have to find ways to make our free days full of life.

I'm going to start water aerobics on the mornings that I go to hemo. I don't get hooked up until a little after noon. And I hope to walk and do work at the gym on my days off. I want to be in good shape in case a kidney comes available for me.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Tell me about your life and your family.

Hi there. Thank you for your reply. I do in-center hemodialysis 3 days a week for 4 hours. I start at 7:20 in the morning. My husband, son and I just moved to Michigan from Washington state. I am interested in doing peritoneal dialysis.
