Moved from another thread, "NxStage in UK?"

... currently they are only in 48 of the 50 states in the USA,...

I have not been able to find them anywhere in South Carolina.   :banghead;  Either that should be 47 out of 50, or they're keeping the SC locations a secret. ???

Either someone from NxStage is monitoring this board, or I just had a couple of really weird coincidences.

About an hour after I posted the above, I got a call from a NxStage rep telling me that there is a training program at a DCI center in Charleston!!!  :o The only one in SC.  He is going to try to get my husband, Mike, into the training program in Charleston (about 4 hours away) and then have the DCI in Spartanburg (about 45 minutes away) do the monthly monitoring.  Mike has gone to pick up a prescription -- I can hardly wait to tell him that there is a good possibility that he might be able to get a NxStage. :clap;  and we won't have to move. :2thumbsup;

BTW, when the NxStage rep called I had the Spartanburg DCI centers on my computer screen!!!  :o How weird is that!?! :o

A friend told me once they aren't coincidences, they're Godincidences.

Yes, I know for a FACT that NxStage monitors this board, which is a good thing.  :thumbup;

Sounds like a sure "sign" to me.  Go for it.  You can take the training and at least see what you think.  You don't have to do it, and don't let anyone tell you you have to.

I CONFIRMED these rumors with a NxStage employee and they are FALSE, there is no NxStages on trial anywhere outside of the USA.
