hi,

I'm taking care of my mother-in-law to be who is 70yr with 6% of kidney function remaining.
She's blind for 10 yrs due to glaucoma and with high blood pressure and heart problem (arrhythmia)
Her anticipated surgery date is 2/17/2014 for the PD catheter to be place. Originally is today but it got cancel due to the storm we are experiencing now.

Thanx! I been lurking for awhile and just reading up all those helpful information on the site.  It makes me feel that I'm not alone out there... my mil is doing okay, not too much symptoms, she only complain about fatique, dry mouth, night sweat and the cramps..that's about it.  I'm looking forward to getting her setup for dialysis so she can feel better soon, but at the same time I feel like we're losing our freedom.  =(

Hi tsengyu1943, and  :welcomesign;!

Best wishes for your MiL2b's surgery.  I'm sure she'll feel so much better when she's able to start dialysis.
