My husband had a transplant about six years ago which failed last summer. He is now on peritoneal dialysis. He's retired but I still work (I'm 64) But luckily I work from home. PD is quite a bit of work to set up the machine each day, stay on top of supplies and there's a lot of plastic waste. He just doesn't feel well a lot of days so I handle most of the PD stuff. Now that I've been doing it a while, I can set up the machine each day in about an hour. Overall, though, it's still much better than having to go into a center 3 times per week.

Sorry your husband's catheter isn't working yet. I'm sure the surgeon will be able to resolve that. Has he had abdominal surgery in the past that could have scar tissue?
