@gingerw I do realize it is still dialysis, and from what I understand the dialysis sessions last longer than they do if you go to a hospital for the dialysis. Some people find that more convenient though. I think the problem with that sometimes is that it is easier to skip or to not do it for the required amount of time. One of my friends had a friend who was doing the home dialysis and she didn't do it as much as she was supposed to do it. She was very negligent in her self-care and unfortunately passed away.
