@angied2001, I would like to add my Welcome to you and your husband. Mayo Clinic Connect is a great place for you to get information and connect with others that are dealing with dialysis.
May I suggest leaving your post here in the Kidney and Bladder group and also posting in our caregivers group so you can get the support you need while supporting your husband. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/caregivers/

I'm tagging fellow members @oohlalalita @jtannen1 and @momij who have been on dialysis. I hope they'll have some insights to share.

While we wait for others to join, here is some information you may be interested in reading on preparing for dialysis found on the Mayo web. http://mayocl.in/2mUyF36

I will read the article I may wait for a bit to join the other group. I don't think I am ready for the caregivers group yet. I think I could get overwhelmed right quick 🙂

totally understand. You have a lot on your plate right now. When you're ready or if you need to talk to someone that may also be caring for a loved one on dialysis, the caregivers group will be a good place to seek advice. I wish you both well with the decision making.

'Thank you SO much!

the article was talking about peritoneal dialysis. I think he is prob. going with hemedialysis.
