How much choice were you given? Feel free to tell us more about this.
I use a bit of both! 
I don't think I gave the hospital much choice to be honest, just said I wanted to do APD and that was that. I now do a couple of day time exchanges also just to improve my bloods further and will possibly be doing just CAPD in the near future...

My husband has been on CAPD for 10 weeks now and has found it very little problem. The only real disruptions are having to have space for the fluid bags, etc and the fact that as he is 70 he prefers to get back home for each exchange which he finds a bit of a treadmill. Otherwise a much easier adjustment than we had imagined and so far no problems with infection or weight gain.
