definitely a lot to process and think on, sending you hugs 💗 @Shaz51
glad you've got the home option for the overnight treatment, i imagine travelling up and back would've been quite exhausting.

Especially when I can't drive so Mr shaz would have to do all the driving @rav3n , @Dimity
Will have to have surgery on my belly to set it all up , spend some times in hospital to learn how to connect myself to the machine at night time when I am at home
And it is forever
Until I have a kidney transplant if one is available

Hey @Shaz51 👋🏼 my Shazzy. I had to Google the treatment. Confronting isn’t it?
If it can be used for 15 to 20 years, obviously people have found it doable.

Oh @Shaz51 I'm sorry to hear that news
It's good that you can do peritoneal dialysis though, better than driving to and sit in a dialysis centre for hours
Do you know the time line for the set-up
Feel free to talk it out, vent etc myself I and I'm sure others are here listening, supporting
