Hello all and Duck Dialysis, I started dialysis on July 8 ,2010 at a center 3 days a week for 4 hours 45 minutes each visit. I Hate In Center Dialysis. Fast forward 15 months later and I started home hemo with NxStage, I don't hate home hemp, but I sure don't like it.
I still work full time, my quality of life improved on home he mo.
Glad to be here.

You'll find lots of home hemo and NxStage users here. Feel free to ask anything.

Howdy Dave and welcome! I am a NxStage veteran myself, did home hemo for 18 months prior to transplant. Also worked full time, I know what you mean about the difference in quality of life with home hemo.
I should also say that we get to your neck of the words fairly frequently as we have an elderly friend in Melvindale (aka the town time forgot) that we try to visit on at least a yearly basis if not more often.

Hello cattlekid , congrats on the transplant, no problem on grabbing a beverage when you come to town, I love meeting NxStage users.

Hi and welcome from a fellow Michigander! I'm in GR, formerly a troll living just under the Bridge in Mac City.
I know when I switched to NxStage, I didn't exactly love it, but it turned D into a rather annoying chore instead of a dreaded hurry-up-n-wait appointment in miserable surroundings!

Excellent discription! Sometimes it is downright Boring to do as a caregiver, but I know & except the fact that Hubby is still with me because of it, and that Iam greatful.
Welcome Dave. Lest some more robust or newly option comes forth, we will stick with NxStage. It works for our situation and needs. But we promise not to BRAG about it, we like being able to do it when we want. Not having to worry about schedules or times, is definately a plus. Hope it works for you too!
Welcome again & God Bless,
