Title: Dialyzer reuse for dialysis
Post by: livnlet on May 13, 2010, 07:04:55 PM

Hi all,

I found this website about Dialyzer reuse for dialysis.
http://www.davita.com/dialysis/treatment/a/1867
I thought some new comers might not have seen it. Very interesting, I learned a lot.
Henry ran a fever again last night after dialysis. They think it is related to his arterial blockages.
He will do the CT scan with dye tomorrow morning and then go straight to dyalisis.
Hopefully we will find out soon how severe his condition is.
Myself I have to drink a jug of GoLYTELY on Sunday for a colonoscopy on Monday. Yukkkkkk.
Anyone know which flaver goes down best? :pray;
Take care all,
Elisabeth, caretaker

I only had the plain GoLYTELY. And it was just awful.

Just about any flavored variety ought to be better than that!

I've had that stuff three times and it was always plain...plain and terrible. YUCK! Good luck.

I was given Picolax when I had a colonoscopy.

Didn't taste too bad at all. But that was before ESRD; I understand it's not for patients with ESRD.

Best of luck with the procedure live&let. I remember it felt like I was having a double deck London bus shoved up my ass...
