Six months ago I was told to expect to start HD this month. This month's bloods show I'm stable and I can expect to remain pre-dialysis for at least another two months.  |

Congratulations  John was told when they fitted his fistula back in April 2008 that he would be needing dialysis with in the next 9 months and it takes 6 months before they can use the fistula. He is still managing without dialysis with a creatinine of 441 this week. He is not a well man and I sometimes wonder if he would feel better if they did start him on dialysis, but they all must know what they are doing, he now has 3 monthly check ups. |

To me, each day that I can get away without not having to do dialysis is a blessing! I've also been told a long time ago that I need dialysis so I got the PD cath put in and that was December or 2007!!!
That's why I'm not sure if I REALLY need to start. My doc is still on my back but I keep putting it off. Currently my cretonne is 6.9 and I’m still holding out. I respect my doctor but I feel that I have to make my own judgement to start. Right now (and for over a year and a half, I’ve been going with my gut instinct and so far my gut has been right!
Does anyone know what 441 would translate to American numbers? I'm very happy for your husband!

Thanks, everyone. It's like I've got another family here, so I had to tell you. Does anyone know what 441 would translate to American numbers? I'm very happy for your husband!
