I started PD 2/16/09 and have had a "knot" between my navel and exit site since mid March.  The surgeon said no hernia, probably just scar tissue.  Well now it is much larger, gets hard when I stand very long and when I fill during my exchanges and I have to do gymnastics in order to drain.  Needless to say I had a few sleepless nights.  Anyway, I saw my neph today and we are gonna do a CAT Scan with the dye being inserted in a daytime solution bag and and then into my peritoneum to look for leaks.  Anyone ever had this problem? And did they use the dye in this way?  Thanks.

Well I'm home again.  I went for CT scan and found out PD Cath had come out of it's "track".  Most of my fluids were going under my skin, not in the peritoneum.  Spent 4 days in hospital getting a new PD cath, a perma cath for hemo, small hernia repair and removal of scar tissue.  I came home for three days and ended up in the ER with vomiting, severe stomach pain & cramping.  After all kinds of tests, found out I was just constipated (big time). I spent a week in the hospital getting cleaned out.  Now doing hemo until abdomen is healed.  I was told 4 to 6 weeks of it.  Boy do I like PD better.  Hemo has not been the easiest.

Oh dear - what a time you've had.  Hopefully it'll be all up from here.  I like how you said 'just' constipated!  We all know there's no 'just' about it.  Hang in there - it's only a few weeks and you'll be back on PD.  Makes you appreciate it eh?  You might have to make a sign saying I DON"T hate dialysis - only haemo!

I hate constipation. Was using laxatives for quite a while after my PD catheter procedures, takes time for your body to get over it.
The haemo knocked me around a bit in the beginning too, i was wheeled in in my hospital bed for my first few sessions.
But i think that was because of the catheter in my groin upper/thigh.
