Dialysis education was pretty much all that I've read, re-read, and read again over the past two years only this time there were a lot more gory pictures and lot's of shiny happy people telling you how great life on dialysis is.
Then they give you a fine choice of three different modes of dialysis.
I chose door number three which is the one that is chosen by the people who don't want to have boxes and boxes of peritoneal supplies and a machine sitting around their bedroom and then have to hook themselves up to the machine that pumps their guts full of fluid as they "sleep" at night.
Instead, I will be one of the wussies that go to the renal center 3x a week to be hooked up to a machine for 3 - 4 hours.
After this totally uplifting experience, I am being scheduled for the next adventure called
vein mapping.
Fistula surgery scheduling will follow.
If you pray....please pray that the tx center calls me before all this has to go down.
Thanks.
