Ginger, thank you for your response. I got really busy between my job and my husband care.
He’s having surgery again to fix the catheter since the surgeon doesn’t know exactly what the problem is. When he’s using the automatic cycler and starts draining, it stops draining about half way into it. They have ruled out other things like constipation. But the Dialysis Clinic found a way to do the manual PD at home. And that one is working much better. And he’ll continue to do it this way until his surgery on 3/26. So far, the manual is helping quite a bit. I was really concerned. We go back to Mayo for other evaluations the first week of April. I’m hoping he’ll be a candidate for a kidney transplant. Are you considering a transplant for yourself? Thank you for reaching out.
