Getting better...

I'm coming out of the dark days...I appreciate the support and encouragement from my friends and family.

I'm thinking about taking the bike out for ride today...been awhile since I hit triple digits...love to hear the sound of the wind and engine at those speeds.

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.
