Welcome Deacon. 5 times a week for 2 hours? Why that schedule. I go 3 times a week for 3 hours .... My total is 9 hours and yours is 10. Would like to hear about that one.
Hope you enjoy the site. Please check out the Site Rules and Regulations under the "Introduction" section.
Thanks.

2 hrs a days is better for me because I did not like sitting for 3 hours... I got cold. Also going every day I am not as limited on diet and drink.
I work 40+ hours a week, play in a band and lead a normal life.

Wow I didn't realize you could have that option! Makes hemo a little less daunting if my PD cath fails. And of course,  |

That is amazing! I wish I could do that! I know I would feel a LOT better if they would allow that in my unit |
