Welcome Deacon.  5 times a week for 2 hours?  Why that schedule.  I go 3 times a week for 3 hours .... My total is 9 hours and yours is 10.  Would like to hear about that one.

Hope you enjoy the site.  Please check out the Site Rules and Regulations under the "Introduction" section.

Thanks.

2 hrs a days is better for me because I did not like sitting for 3 hours... I got cold.  Also going every day I am not as limited on diet and drink.
I work 40+ hours a week, play in a band and lead a normal life.

Wow I didn't realize you could have that option!  Makes hemo a little less daunting if my PD cath fails. 
And of course,

That is amazing! I wish I could do that! I know I would feel a LOT better if they would allow that in my unit
