Title: Wife of PD Patient
Post by: LStock on January 09, 2011, 07:04:01 PM

 :pray;  Hi everyone,  I'm Linda and my husband Bill has been on PD at night for about a year and a half.  We started with the Newton IQ and then switched to a Liberty pump type cycler due to his drain issues.  Its been a frustrating, time consuming journey and he's on the transplant list.  However, he just had major heart surgery which puts that on hold for 6 months.  The renal failure and diabetes makes everything more complicated.  I hope to share our experiences and glean yours.
