Sorry Y'all. Couldn't find my post so I could update, so I just started
a new one.
I saw my 2nd opinion Dr. day before yesterday and she agrees I don't
need to get a neck catheter unless it is absolutely necessary. She said to go on with getting the graft and to see her every 2 weeks and get blood work done. I can't get in to see my vascular surgeon until
Oct. 15th. Then I have to set it up and it has to have time to heal. So please say a prayer for me to be able hold up on the D for a couple of months.
She suggested NxStage for me and Cindy said she will be my partner. So I have to decide all of that, too. I would really like to do Home D
at night, but you can't run NxStage all night. Does anyone know what I need to look into for night treatments? I'm going to try to do some research on it tomorrow.
Hope everyone is doing OK. I sure envy Okarol going to Paris. I know
she and Jenna will have a wonderful time.
Talk later.

Mimi,
There are quite a few NxStagers out there doing nocturnal. There is an on-going discussion about it at the NxStage Users Yahoo group.
