Dialysis Centers

So because of RonZone's "blog" posts on his journey, and many others here with their stories of PD I'm more convinced that is the way I would like to go when the time comes (hopefully not anytime soon). So looking around at Dialysis Centers near me I've found there are two businesses that offer dialysis...Davita and they only offer in center hemo, and Fresnesis and they all seem to offer a variety of options including PD. There's the one where my neph is an hour away, and there are two in Tulsa, 1.5 hours away. I'll probably go with the one where my neph is but at least I know there are others, not nearby, but close enough that I'm not forced into in center hemo only. Once I get closer I'll make sure they use the Amia cycler as I'm hard of hearing and have some sight issues.

Horsie63, I do my pd at home at night while I sleep. Is that an option for you?

That's what I'm leaning towards when the time comes. My neph thinks that would be the best option for me given that I would like to keep working for as long as possible.
