Now that I have gotten the hang of it I love NxStage, not sure if my husband does sense he is the one getting the treatments 6 times a week.  Thanks to you, Cookie and your husband Dave I was able to get through all my fears and insecurities. You two were my inspiration on not giving up when we kept having problems in the beginner. I know all the problems were because of my fear of not doing things right.  Being able to do his treatments around our schedule sure makes for a much happier life!  Congratulations Cookie and Dave on your first year at home!

Wow, what a great thing...1 year on NxStage.  Since my husband and I are barely 1 month, it is great to see the posts of those that have gone before us and are still saying wonderful things about it.  Congratulations!  :thumbup;

Congratulations! Two days ago (5/21) was my three year anniversary of starting NxStage, and it's the best thing that's happened to me since I started dealing with dialysis. I hope it continues to work for you.
