.Your advice and information is right on the mark, particularly the reference to "part-time job". I am entering my 4th week on PD using the cycler. While mastering the various techniques (I did manage a Pharm Lab Microbiology department) the variables of the human body, age and diet are still being worked on. For those of faint of heart, it is a simple but oh so vital importance to religiously follow the sanitary and aseptic procedures. Not complicated at all but critical. All the rest is routine that is different from what you have been used to and that is the main adjustment. So far, my attitude is up. I have been able to handle glitches and machine stoppages with the really good training and clinic support. Above all, the PD nurses are at the top of my admired list.
