We visited our nephrologist this Monday and he told us Dan sould start the process of training for home hemodialysis. This is relatively new but the doctor and our transplant coordinator strongly encouraged us to try to do dialysis this way. It is more comfortable since you do it at home on your own time. Of course the schedule is set by the Dr. and dialysis clinic nurse but the reports from patients are overwhelmingly positive.
So we have been contacted by the home hemodialysis person and they will contact our insurance and fight it -ooops- I mean work it out. Hopefully.
Again, another process that will probably move slowly... we are getting used to it.
Dan is feeling okay. He really feels sick if he eats something he's not supposed to... Sometimes we don't know what it is he ate that made him feel sick...So he really is watching everything he eats. His kidney function is worse, but his phosphorous and potassium are better as is his hemoglobin.
So we can say he's doing okay. Which is great, really.
