Thank you noahvale for all these helpful links for me to learn.
I shall study everything very closely and have already realized
that adjustments to my diet will have to be made since starting dialysis.
Many thanks from Kristina.

This has been a constant worry to me since my GFR is going lower all the time. Not so much about having to do # 1 as I have some control over that, but # 2 is hopeless.Every morning, i race to the bathroom and usually end up having to rinse the bottom jammys. How long does it take for them to unhook you???

I am very sorry what you go through, Jean and I do hope that things are getting better for you soon.
I take it that you have not started with dialysis yet ?
Back to your question: When I needed to go to the toilet, they unhooked me very quickly
and it was only a matter of minutes...
... I am doing much better now and I have also started to train my body a little before dialysis,
I use the restroom before dialysis and did not have to interrupt my dialysis-session again.
Thanks again from Kristina.

I think that is probably one of the only advantages of being in complete kidney failure, that I only need to wee once a week!
Shopping trips and theatre or restaurant visits are never punctuated by the need to find a bathroom!!!  ::)

Jean, it's not a fabulous solution, but you can wear something like Depends if you think you will have accidents. You could still get unhooked and go clean up and change but at least you wouldn't have to worry about the time to unhook. Sorry.

That is what I was thinking except I thought you may be able to just wait till the end to get cleaned up.

I like the home hemo myself but don't know if that is an option for you.

Thanks again for sharing your experiences, Sugarlump, Jeannea and Maggie and Jeff. it is very much appreciated.
I did not need the restroom during a session anymore and I have started to regulate my liquid-intake on dialysis-days beforehand.
That makes life a little easier and avoids unnecessary stress. I have decided to take to dialysis as much as I possibly can.
Thanks again from Kristina.
