Good morning!!!! When I first started in 2015 I made the decision to do PD. I wasn't going to do Hemo, I watched my dad when he was on it. I definitely knew I wasn't doing the cycler, I sleep 2-3 hrs and then I'm up, as you might can tell, I'm hyper. PD is good, a little time consuming and frustrating, but worth it. I do dialysis 4 time a day. GOD has blessed me with an awesome medical team and family and friends. Sometimes it gets boring sitting at home, but I never complain. I just get into stuff, some I probably shouldn't get into. 😀😀😀😀 Have an awesome day!!!!!!
Why do you do 4 times a day. Since my husband is still acti e and working he would not be able to do day time. the 8 hrs at night works well and he doesnt ha e any problems sleeping with it. it did take a week or so to get used to it but once he did it's been ok.
