Nope, not supposed to. As the previous poster said, peritonitis man. You're supposed to be doing a sterile procedure every time you hook up. You do know what sterile procedure means right? If not you should ask your PD nurses as they can explain it better than I can.

Yeah, everything in the trash the next day. Seems a shame to go through so much medical waste but I guess that's the way it goes.
