Greetings fellow haters of dialysis.
I am 67 years old. I live by myself. I have been on CCPD a little over a year. I would have started six months earlier, but there was a raft of complications some medical, some mechanical. I use a Baxter Home Choice Pro now, but trained inititially on the newer Baxter Amia. Inbetween I spent three months on hemo with s carotid catheter.
I am glad to find this site as I find other sites miserably cheerful, filled with hope but little useful information, and quite annoying. Here I look to find more reality-based discussions. I understand how reporting our stories can be helpful, as we navigate the dark dialysis forest. I like reading your stories.
Onward,
PDBunny

Hi PDBunny and Welcome to IHD!
I found it very helpful reading here when I first began PD. So much to learn that is not addressed in our training. Learning how much our diet and fluid control makes such a difference in how we feel after treatment was probably the most important to me. I think I have managed to adjust far quicker and better than many because of this site.
Having the ability to ask questions and get answers from those that actually LIVE the life. Dr's and Nurses know a lot, but they are on the other end of the treatment and really do not know just what we are going through.
Read lots, post often. We will be here.
Take Care,
Charlie B53
