Hi there,
My husband began dialysis in Sept 2010, and home dialysis at the end of Feb 2011.  We are hoping for a transplant, but we both have to loose some weight before that will happen.  Glad I found this forum.

We did not travel out of the country. We mostly loaded the machine into our truck and carted it up to Massachusetts to visit our daughter and her family (four times a year). We also took it camping in our rather small camper (twice for a week in Florida). But we never flew with it.... others have, though!
