I am currently in in central dialysis, and have been for +/- 2.5 years. I am doing well except for the common side effect, i.e., insomnia, tiredness after treatment, and loss of productive time. But when you consider the alternative, it ain't so bad!! Life is good and I am truly blessed to be able to receive treatment.

your outlook is so good. im 84 and think the same as you do, and very grateful. god bless you and your wife
I'm with you on that. Stay positive, even if you don't feel like it. Stay active and when you can't, talk to your wife about what you're feeling. I have my little sister, but sometimes I can't do talk to her. She's awesome, but she has her own life and I want her to enjoy her life, not be my nurse aid.
So have a blessed day!!!!!
