home dialysis


hi all just to let you know Andy's feet are doing ok now only took three lots of antibiotics this time ,, well its been all go here we have had the porta cabin put in the garden its nearly ready to be used,,we had work men in for two weeks ,,and now were on our second week training to put Andy on dialysis,,,I'm really enjoying it but finding it hard to get into a routine with Andy because we get picked up at 6 15 am so were up at 5 15 and get to hospital for 7, am . theres alot to take in and remember but were get there im getting a bot more confidence inserting the needles,,which is the most important part of dialising and very scary,,but hopefully i will get used to it, i need to go now but will keep you updated, here's a pic of the porta cabin ,,very cosy but smells like a hospital,,,ttfn xxx
