Kidney Disease Support Group

When I first started dialysis, someone mentioned that I should find a support group. It was evident that my kidney dialysis center did not sponsor a support group. They have a social worker and other people to support you but there’s not much interaction with other patients. I’m not sure what I was Googling but I found this recently. It appears to be a support group hosted by Saddleback Church in Lake Forest. Saddleback Church is one of the largest megachurches in America. There’s probably close to 25,000 people in attendance each weekend. I think it will be good to talk to other Christians with kidney disease experience. I have so many spiritual questions regarding God and kidney failure.

I sent an email to the contact confirming the next meeting’s date and time, and also whether I am allowed to be late since the meeting starts at 1:00 pm and I don’t usually get out of dialysis until 1:00 pm. Saddleback Church is about 25 minutes away from my dialysis center. I hope I can go, even for part of the meeting.
