home dialysis


well hello all ,,were at home now just on the second week of dialysis ,i think all is going well we have done two days without any help,, but have made mistakes ,,like today i touched the wrong thing on the screen and had to do a manual wash back and Andy's blood pressure was low so that didn't help,but all was ok in the end ,,but i did panic ,need to be calm next time ,,we are still doing 12 hours a week and doing it in the morning but im hoping we can change the times soon because Andy will have dialysis in the morning and then spend all afternoon in bed so that's a day wasted, i think Andy should have it in the evening then go to bed . then we can plan a day out somewhere,,it was the whole point of having dialysis at home so he could have a better life ,,so here's hoping i can get him out and about and into a better routine ,,the pic is of Andy in his little cabin on dialysis,, ttfn,xx.
