I go 3x per week, with a 40 minute drive each way. While in the chair, I try to use half the time for writing messages.

Steve I read your post and see you have been on dialysis since around October. I am scheduled for my fistula placement on February 10th. I am scared of course. Scared of the surgery, scared of starting dialysis. Trying to be upbeat for all family around me. I don’t know how it will feel. So many questions. How will I feel after each time ? Some people I read have gone on special practically vegan diets to improve their numbers. My nephrologist told me my diet would. It change anything. I don’t know if that is good information from him or not. Hope you are doing well with your dialysis. Thanks for letting me vent my fears and questions to you. I am not a spring chicken…74 years old. Wishing you the best. Peggy
