This is my first year on diaylsis. It's not as bad as I thought. I go three times a week, (Mon,Wed & Fri)6am - 9am. I see people every day who ask if I am on a waiting list for a kidney. I have not been evaluated yet as I have no major medical insurance. There are people in my unit that have been on diaylsis up to eight years and still going strong. My day will come soon.
