Title: starting Nocturnal.......
Post by: tyefly on July 14, 2010, 08:14:34 PM

Well its been a pretty good summer so far......  I have been gardening and getting into plants.....  bonsai  and propagation..... fun stuff.....

  I am starting nocturnal nxstage next month....as soon as my new cartridges come..... Everything has been approved with my clinic and my Doctor and my insurance.....   I am so glad........  now I can sleep thru all those hours.......  its been hard doing almost 4 hours per day ..... now I am going to do 8  but I will be dreaming great thoughts  ( I hope ).... 

  Its been hard getting everything approved ......  Got to give a big thx to Bill Peckham and Peter Laird along with a few others who have written great things about Nxstage and Nocturnal .....  and of course my Doctor who stands behind the whole concept........  Life is good.....Now I just need a transplant.......

I am so jealous.  We cannot get our clinic to buy into nocturnal, at all.  I keep telling the neph - dude, all I need is a heparin pump....we can take it from there....he just shrugs it off.

Anyone with any suggestions as to how to kick a slow-moving DaVita clinic in the ass, please, I would love to hear them.

Excellent!
More hemodialysis is better.
