Title: Ahoy Mateys!
Post by: donster on September 10, 2010, 03:29:26 PM

My wife Sheila's kidneys failed for the last time nearly two years ago from Primary Hyperoxaluria (www.ohf.org (http://www.ohf.org)). She had been doing in center hemo up to 5 days a week since then -- and hating life. As of today, we're now on our own, doing NxStage home hemo at home  and on our own terms.  :bandance; After just three weeks, she's already looking and feeling better. So glad to find and join you all here.

Welcome to the site donster!  I too do NxStage home hemo.  Been using since July of this year.  I agree, it is better than in center.  Glad to hear your wife is feeling and looking better.
