Soon to be on dialysis

[patandfritz]

I am the caregiver for my BF who has CKD. He is going on dialysis in a couple weeks at a center. He has a lot of fluid built up particularly the tops of his legs. Will that get better with the dialysis??

Definitely. Before doing dialysis I had stored a lot of fluid and needed oxygen. In just a few weeks, I felt much better and now I no longer need the oxygen. Dialysis takes work and dedication but I feel it is well worth it. I trust you will too.

Are you on HD or PD dialysis? And, if HD, do you receive dialysis in center or in your home?
