wow,

thanks..

i think im starting this... :S

i dont know what dialysis to do but they just scheduled me for the surgery to have this in 8 days :S

why did you choose this kind of dialysis?/

i just dont know what to pick.

im 18 so i still have to go to school and work and all that stuff.

Peritoneal Dialysis fit my lifestyle better then HD...since PD is more flexible...I can do it myself at home....and the diet and fluid restrictions are not really as important with PD ( at least for me)...Gary

Great video! I just shared this on my forums with a lady who is starting this today! :) Thanks for making this!

Good video. Very informative. I just started my manual exchanges a couple weeks ago, and I should be on CCPD shortly. I've already got about 30 boxes of PD fluid from Baxter filling my bedroom.

Good luck with CCPD....i like it much better then the manual way...but its good to have the manual method as a backup

@djgaryb11 Well, I did CCPD. I had a few issues, and had to have my catheter removed and a new one put in on my other side, but thanks to my dad's generosity, I now have a brand new kidney, and freedom to leave my house at night! :)  Good luck to anyone out there who has to go through this, but it is worth it!

Hey djgaryb11, Thanks for the video. I'm just started doing the manual PD. What kind of cart are you using for setting your PD machine on?
