It is normal for a Dialysis patient to receive treatment three days a week.

Best of luck to you and your Dad. Glad he can do it at home, rather than having to go to a center. In this day with COVID, it is great that he can be safe at home.

Is it PD if so it was not too bad. You schedule around it but pretty easy. I felt good did normal daily activities just timed it. I did everyday 4 times a day for 26 months then I got my transplant. In my 1st of transplant. Lots of appointments so far.
