Hi Ken and welcome to IHD.  I'm so glad you found us.  It sucks to have problems on PD.  I hope you are feeling better.

This is a great site as I'm sure you will see.                    :welcomesign;

 :welcomesign;  to IHD.  Hope you find the information and support that you need here.  We have several people on PD and infection can be a problem but 4 in such a short time sounds very distressing.

Hey, Ken; welcome to the group.  I  only had peritonitis once in 6 years, and it was the worst kind - they had to remove my catheter.  Gotta watch out for those hernias.  They could get infected and then infect the dialysate.  Other than that, I love PD!
