WOW A 40 foot patient line!?!? The longest I could get was 20 feet. If I had a longer line I could watch the HD TV in the den instead of the older TV in the living room.  |

Yes! A 40' line would let me have a lot further roving territory than I do now. Which system are you using that has a line that long? Mine from Baxter are only 20'.

Bleja, they told me I could start dialyzing a week after they placed my cath if I had to. Fortunately, I was able to hold off for about a month before I finally had to start.

It isnt Baxter, i cant recall the name either... um... its through fresenius if that helps. (i know some fmcs do baxter but this isnt.)
They were going to start my trainging this monday, but apparently the woman is going on vacation... so one more week!

Fresenius line is 20 feet, I've asked if they have a longer one and the answer was NO. With my 20 foot line because of where I put my machine and the layout of my home I'm quite mobile. My nurse want me to use the drain bags so I can check the clarity of the drained solution. I've never had a cloudy drain, but there's always a first time, eh?

My sweet wife came up with a novel idea to help me more mobile when I was doing PD. She got a table with wheels to put the cycler on so we could move it around the house. She plugged it in with a long orange heavy duty extension cord. I was able to walk to the bathroom and all over the main part of the house. It was great. She is such a creative thinker. |
