well guys, i went to my clinic today after work and found out that i have to increase my treatments..oh yeah. the good thing is that i do them at home. its called peritoneal dialysis. my doctor surgically implanted a tube down into my peritoneal cavity and i drain out all my fluids and replace them with dialysis solution every night. the main problem is that i\'m hooked up to my machine for 10 hours everynight from now on until i get a transplant. it sucks being tied down but its much better than hemo dialysis. i dont know if i had explained how my treatments work to you guys or not, but now you know. i used to have to do 8 hours every night which wasnt too bad. if you guys have any questions or are curious how it works just let me know guys. it sure helps having this site and all you guys to chat with about the thing i love the most....horror stuff. thanks again for all the support guys.
