Thanks for the video. I am expecting to have a port installed very soon. My Mother was on PD for a few years, but I never drilled down into the processes. This video was one of the best I have seen regarding everything that has to be done to successfully exist on PD.
Thank you so much for making this video and sharing your experience so openly. This is incredibly helpful in answering so many of my questions and fears.
My wife just started PD after our training 8 days and she’s already overwhelmed with it all to the point she’s talking of quitting and returning to the NEEDLE!
Hi Steven, You might try to trouble shoot with your wife's nurse and maybe ask for additional training. If she chooses to change to hemo, maybe consider doing it at home.
I never had it but maybe once. I suppose if you were still asleep in the machine it could be bad enough to wake you up. It wouldn’t happen with manuals because, it happens when you’re draining the fluid out.
Excellent and detailed.

Awesome video. I’m two months into my treatment. I will make a video as well to share my experience.

Great video! Thank you so much. My husband is brand new to pd and so far we’re doing fine.

@@Lorihartwell I can’t reply back to you
@@Lorihartwell hemo at home? No we’re doing PD at home and it’s bringing on depression and she’s not the type for depression! PET testing today
I like to drink occasionally! Is 6 beers too much to have every once in a while? While on dialysis if so any suggestions on other alcoholic beverages
You should always check with your doctor and renal dietitian about anything you eat or drink.
@@Lorihartwell thank you for that information
Sure who needs a kidney
Does the drain pain ever wake you up?
