Mom has been on PD since June 2021 and has been doing ok. The last month or so she has been very weak and could walk less than 20feet without feeling exhausted. She is dependent on using the walker. Mom has poor appetite due to nausea. An antiemetic meds has been Rx. Nephro Shake once a day for supplements. Our family is dreading that Mom will go to sleep forever before the end of the year. I am okay with that bc all her suffering will end.
