So glad you feeling a lot better about everything - makes such a difference when people treat you like a knowledgeable human being, instead of just a number etc. Good luck with everything - now just enjoy Christmas with your family. xx

Thats nice My hubby has always found them all very helpfull, It is an awfull lot to take in i always go with my hubby since he went to stage 4 he went very quickly to stage 5 & on dialysis though! so we had to learn very fast the renal team are fantastic & are always there at the end of the phone if he's worried about anything he is on peritoneal dialysis at home!

Just try to follow the advice you have been given as the nutrition aspect is very important my hubby has a friend on haemo & he has no problems with his figures theres only a few things he can't eat! so he's happy!

like i say everyone is different you have the help & support of your wife that helps tremendously as my hubby often forgets things so together we seem to remember! good luck with everything
