My home centre is going to be interviewed by channel 6 news (Indianapolis) for a story about the NxStage. They are specifically going to interview one of the patients who just finished training. I think this is awesome, because the public needs to be more aware of dialysis, and the option of NxStage. On a related topic, I had my second day of training today, and I finally got ALL THE SELF CARE THAT I WANT! I did almost 100% of my treatment, and I only made one mistake (I dropped my arterial line as I was taking myself off, and it had to be disinfected before I could connect it to  the saline bag for run back). I've never felt so good during and after a dialysis treatment. I'll keep you all updated as different things happen. Take care.

If you are there the day they come you really need a ILOVENXSTAGE.com t-shirt or an IHATEDIALYSIS.com t-shirt to advertise the site.
