In center hemodialysis. Like keeping it separate from family life.

I do in center. I like the separation of home and treatment.

Hi, I'm Barb. I did PD at home for 6 months but my Albumin got dangerously low. Now I do in center hemo for ESRD. My hubby is being evaluated for being my donor. Prayers appreciated.

Hi Angela, I know your post was from a few years ago, so you may not even see this reply at this point! I simply wanted to say hello and that I was encouraged when I came across your post. My husband is going on 11 years of in-center hemodialysis, and I know he often feels alone not knowing many others who have accumulated that many years of treatment. I hope you are continuing to do well and stay strong. - Taylor
