I just hit my six month anniversary of staying out of the hospital! Last year was very bad because my potassium kept going up and I was in the hospital more often then I was home. They even gave me an award certificate at the dialysis centre.

Well done. Things must be running relatively smoothly to achieve that goal. I'm not quite there yet myself, but I'm close! Having my fistula created was the last time I was in hospital. I'm hoping that my next visit there will be for a new kidney!
