Patient Scrapbook: Barbara Alders
"I enjoy getting out and being with other people so that I don't have time to think about my health," Barbara says. She is pictured here (second from left) having a good time playing pinochle with some of her non-dialysis friends at a recreation center.
Barbara has been on hemodialysis for 3 1/2 years, although she notes her kidneys have not been fuctioning well for 20 years.
