I brought home my NxStage machine today (which I have dubbed "Sir Lancelot"), and I also received most of my supplies. Still to come are my Pureflow, my warmer for when I'm using bags, my dialysate (Pureflow SAKs and some bags for emergencies and travel), my cartridges, my saline, and a few other supplies. I will be receiving all that stuff on Monday, and my first home treatment is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon (my training nurse will come to observe the first home treatment. I'll post pics in the "Show your home dialysis setup" thread once I get everything set up.
