Well, it was a bit unsettling. My first battle had to do with the room itself. It reminded me of the chemotherapy room where my wife received treatment before passing away due to breast cancer. Once I made peace with that, I did much better. What a lifestyle adjustment it's going to be! One hour drive time [round trip], 3.5 hours in the chair— it's quite a time commitment! However, if dialysis does what it is purported to do, if it restores my energy and strengthens my body, I'm good with it.
