Dialysis Support Group
Dialysis is a type of renal replacement therapy which is used to provide an artificial replacement for lost kidney function due to renal failure. It is a life support treatment and does not treat any kidney diseases. Dialysis may be used for very sick patients who have suddenly lost their kidney function or for quite stable patients who have permanently lost their kidney...

They gave me an I.V. and some Verced which knoked me out. Just had to remove bandage next day and clean with warm soapy water. You can shower but you can't soak it in the tub. Can't lift anything and u have to exercise that arm by squeezing a ball. Just for a few weeks. Mine has healed up in a week. My arm is a little sensitive but not bad or intolerable.

I too found it to be a non-event. Small incision -nothing afterwards causing any distress. If I remember right it was a drowsey drug and local anesthetic.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
