Ok, here goes...the first post of many

Hello and welcome to my blog!

I will need to keep this one short as it's the 4th of July and preparations need to be completed. The intention of this blog is to provide a method of dialogue for myself and others affected by kidney disease. These comments are welcome from both patients/family/friends or other support.

I personally have found it helpful to express my feelings either verbally or via electronic means. Hopefully others will share their experiences both positive and negative, so we can all grow stronger.

Currently, I am on PD dialysis with the intention of kidney transplant. PD seems to be working out fairly well up to this point...especially since no needles are involved!

I would like to hear other opinions regarding the types of dialysis and related stories. Also, interested in purchasing a belt to secure catheter...any suggestions?

Speaking of transplant, I would be remiss if I didn't mention I'm an O+ blood type seeking a donor.

Well, that's it for now.

Hey Marshall,

Apryl sent me this link. I am so proud of your progress. Remember this is only a test from God. Only accept the test that God is putting you through. He will carry you throught. Just ask the savior to help you. Comfort strengthen and keep you. (this is a song) You are a strong man and you got a good strong wife and daughter behind you. I am glad that you are expressing yourself and keeping the faith. God Bless you and I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. Take care. Jonetta
