i LOVE pd. You will love your freedom! I know i do, and get ready to eat some tomatos, potatos, fries, and oranges. PD makes your potassium low.

It is my utmost dream and desire to reach out to other kidney patients for them to know that they are not alone in this, also to reach out to those who one day have to go on dialysis though my book i am writing!

Huzzah! That's fabulous! My Blokey recently saw the surgeon and has been pencilled in to have his PD catheter put in in about three weeks. He's very excited too because he HATES hemo with a passion!

Tons better then Hemo! I have done both and I can't understand why anyone wouldn't do PD if they are able. |
