I am now on outpatient dialisys, and am in the process of being but on the list for a kidney transplant. For the forseeable future, I will be getting outpatient dialisys 3 days a week, for 4 to 5 hours a day. Right now I report to the dialisys center at around 3pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I don;t get home until around 8pm. It is keeping me alive, and it is supposed to make me feel better. So far, it has been an frustrating and exhausting experience. It is uncomfortable, the needles in my are are painful, and I have to keep my right arm still throughout the whole procedure. I am rght handed, so there isn't much I can do. I try to read, until my eyes hurt. I listen to music, podcasts and web radio, but I just can't relax. And when it is all over, I am wiped out. It takes 24 hours to recover from it, and then it's time to go at it again.....
