SicknTired,

How is dialysis going for you? Is it controlling your labs adequately?

I want thank you all for the warm welcome. I've been on PD for 21/2 years. My surgeon put my cathiter in pointing up instead of down so I get infections real easy. I've had Peritonitis 4 times in the time I've been doing this. So my clerance isn't all that great yet.
