Welcome aboard Attitude!  You have found and excellent site with great people!  You really should check into Hemo at home.  We use the NxStage machine and it has been awesome for my husband.  Im happy, because I can put him on when I feel like it.  I make it work for me, not the other way around.  This little "kick butt" machine is very easy to move around and pack up and take on trips. Just take some hanging bags and connect to electricity and BAM, your'e good!!!

We just love the home experience!

Again welcome & God Bless,
