I started with cardio (I do the elliptical because it's easier on my knees) and then added resistance. I'm up to 40 minutes of elliptical this week and have rounded out my resistance to just about all the machines in the gym. My goal is to be in pretty good shape when I go in for my transplant.

I start with resistance to stretch, burn some calories and get my heart rate up so I don't have to ease into cardio. My neph won't let me do abs because of the man-made hernia you get with a PD catheter but I can do anything else I feel like taking on.     
Logged
PD catheter inserted 11/2011
CCPD begun 12/2011
Activated on transplant list 01/27/2012
PD efficacy tanked 12/2012. CVC inserted for hemo.
Elected to stay on hemo 01/2013. (10.5 hours per week instead of 8 hours every night? No contest!)

Today I will not worry unless the animals start lining up 2 by 2.
