dialysis at worksop


today Andy has been really tired ,his been asleep most of the day but coughing allot,a bit of a temperature as well,recently when Andy was in hospital we was asked if Andy would like to dialyse in our own home ,they would of trained us both to put Andy on dialysis in the comfort of our own home ,it would off been brilliant Andy said if only we had another room or even a conservatory ,so we decided that we couldn't have dialysis at home ,unless we moved to a bigger house ,which is not a option at the moment .Sheffield northern gen is great but its a long way to go ,when Andy was in hospital his dad drove to Sheffield every day ,which was really tiring for him ,anyway we have been told that next year Andy could be going to bassetlaw hospital worksop for his dialysis treatment which would be great for Andy ,not so far to travel and when you have just had dialysis and not feeling to good then you got that long journey home it makes you even more tired,and also if Andy is not feeling to good after dialysis then he has to wait until he is OK to go home which holds up the driver and other dialysis patience,if he was at worksop it would be easier to get home and to travel to worksop ,there is allot of other people on dialysis that also have to travel from worksop to Sheffield ,and I'm sure they would benefit if they didn't have to travel all that way ,Andy gets picked up at 6 15 in the morning three times a week and he get home by 12 that's on a good day ,on a bad day could be 1 o'clock,so we really hope that this time next year he will be at worksop for his treatment .ttfn xx
