Did you ever try peritoneal dialysis?

[carrielile]

@nlunlunlu A year. When your at the hospital I was at they almost force it upon you cause it is the healthier choice. But they insist you do everything yourself (Setup hookup disconnection disposal etc etc) and at that age, as you well know, you dont wanna believe it. You dont want to deal with all of that & I slacked off and got 3 separate peritonitis infections. That hospital has this 3 strikes your out type thing. 3 infections & they switch you to hemo.

Lol Yeah I have just been busy helping run the Live action role play game & also making the website for it. I'm going to be posting one today or tomorrow.

@lookout5610 Thank you. It sucks but there are so many people out there worse off so I do count myself lucky.

Hi Carrie :) I'm so glad you've share this video. I'm  CAPD for 6 months but my doctors said since my kidney getting worst so I need another operation for HEMO dialysis I'm so sad :( and tired. When I saw your video makes me lighten you look good I wish I could too. Hoping we could be friends?

[nlunlunlu]

@carrielile Oh I was on peritoneal and I never got an infection.

Thanks for sharing this Carrie. I have enjoyed this series (1 and part 2). So informative for those who don't know what we with kidney disease have gone through. Thank you and hope you keep making more videos! Hope you get a transplant soon and are doing well!
