So far so good

So far so good tomorrow will be my fourth session at home and I've had no problems. I've settled in fine at home and getting use to it now.

I also have to put in my first order to Baxter so I'll need to do a quick stock take to see what i need having all the stock in my room make this handy as i can do it while on dialysis and it gives me something to past the time.

Sessions one at Home

Home Dialysis is now up and running, I've attached pictures off the machine, chair, stacking trolley and the RO


This is the machine as you can see it looks worst than it is but once you get to know it you'll feel allot better.





This is the RO for cleaning the water. If you look behind it you'll see a small black tank for water storage. The RO must be turned off after each dialysis session as it uses allot of water.

 Here is the stacking trolley you'll  get about one third of you stock into it. If you  manage it right it will make your life allot easier and you can manage stock control and re order from it also. Allot of the stock will last you about 6 week, other will only last 3 week. So you really need to know what to order and when. My first order is tomorrow Baxter have given me a list of date to ring in the order and when the delivery will be made.
Finally the chair and table. You also get to see the setup of the room here. Having the chair near the machine is vital so everything is at hands reach.

You can see one of the bins here also for the waste when you complete a session/.
