Now that he has had the PD surgery and waiting for it to heal before they can use it , he is at the hospital on SLEDD dialysis, his feet and ankles and legs are so swollen he cannot get on a pair of socks, also you cannot touch is legs as it is very painful,, he can barely get up from the bed to the wheelchair and from the wheelchair to the toilet, can he possibly do PD at home with my help, I am so scared. He is 76 years old and due to the AL Amyloidosis has taken a turn for the worse, the fluid build up is a combo of no kidneys and AL AMY. Doctors are trying all they can at his request.

@devineone I hope you and your husband can speak with a social worker, to help address these terrible side effects. Sure wish the meds for Amy would hurry up and work! When will the 12th dose be done? Can they do any pull off of fluids with a syringe, or is that not possible? Holding you both in my thoughts and prayers.
