Probably won't be around much for a time.

Just to let you all know that I probably will not be on here much over the next few months.

I found out this week that I will most likely be undergoing dialysis within the next month and it is something that I am having a hard time wrapping my head around plus I have not been feeling too well of late anyway.

You have my many prayers as well. So very sorry you got this diagnosis, however, keep hope. Maybe look into counseling for help in dealing with this, a good counselor can really help. Just something to consider. You are very very good with helping out on here and we understand your needing time, we will look forward to you coming back as we do care about you.
Sending some healing hugs your way....

Prayers for you Jim. I hope you feel lots better than you are right now. That is a big thing to wrap your head around.

Jim, I was strapped into the dialysis machine for a month and a half for leukophoresis. While I can't say it was a highlight of my life, it wasn't bad at all. Did you have a stent put in or will they be able to use your arm veins. My veins wouldn't stand up for the treatment so they inserted a "stent" into my Vena Cava, I believe it was. Then it was just a matter of plugging me in each week. I don't know what you are having dialysis for so this info might not pally to you. I was told to fast on liquids from 12:00 PM to procedure ar 8:30 so that I wouldn't have to use the bedpan . . . Q

Jim
