my best friend struggle continues

I havent writtne in a while but i have been
reading all the posts. My friend was just released form
the hospital yesterday. The SD has attcked her
kidneys. She will have to start dyalysis soon. The docs
believe that she is a candidate for perio dialysis as
oppossed to hemo dialysis which is the better of the two
if you have to choose. You have a little more
freedom with perio. Her spirits are very low right now,
and on top of it all Jan 6 is the first anniversaty
of her dads death from renal failure. He was on
dialysis for several years before that. Thanks fro
listening.<br>Karin
