Hello my name is Jen. I live in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I have not started dialysis yet but have been told I will need to start soon. I just had fistula surgery but plan to try to do PD. I am hoping to learn a lot from the other members to try to help myself prepare for what is to come.

Hi Jan. Welcome to IHD. I have been on PD since September 27 of this year. Pleade feel free to ask away. I got both a a fistula and a PD catheter installed at the same time. That saved me from being put to sleep twice. Wish you the best with your transition to D.

:waving; Hey, Jen, welcome to IHD! My mom is from MI and still talks about growing up on a farm just outside of Kalamazoo. I'm also still pre-d and haven't had a fistula or PD catheter placed yet. There are a lot of members that have been or are right where you are now. I am sure they will be happy to share their experiences with you and answer any questions you have.
Come back and tell us a little more about yourself.

:welcomesign; redJen! I don't do PD, I do home Hemo. Simply because I didn't want another tube! Best of luck to you. There are plenty of people on here that do PD. Any and all questions are welcome!

Come here often and read. Knowledge is power!
