hi, i d like to participate here more often. i hope to visit ' florida this year. i too that dialysis was the end but glad i got other opinions which pushed me to get on the list. i had several nephrologists and just listened to them all when one finally said " you need to be listed to survive." god bless him for his advice and i always get more than one opinion for almost any health decision i now make. take care, ray
