Sure, it isn't easy being a patient, but we'll help you get through all the "yuck" that entails. Say as much (or as little) as you want; we'll all be listening (or maybe in this case it would be reading?). And if you can still keep us laughing, too...that will be proof of your brilliance as a blogger, LOL!

I suspect we will learn from you too. You've found your way through tough times before, I am sure you can find your path this time too. Good for you choking down the Kaylexate too! (and submitting to the lab work). It is tricky balancing the being a patient (and doing what that requires) and being your healthy self (mind, body, and soul) too. Keep going for doing both!

It's definitely do-able, and if you don't mesh with the first nurse educator, just keep shopping around until you find someone with a style that's comfortable for you. In the meantime, this handy-dandy <a href="http://www.kidney.org/atoz/atozItem.cfm?id=103" rel="nofollow">tool</a> might be of use, if you aren't already familiar with it. Body positioning so that the dialysate gets well-distributed, is one of the important basics, as is making sure that the educator knows what activities are important to you to be able to do (schoolwork at the 'puter, gardening, sports/activities, work, etc.) so you might work on creating a list of those to help her partner with you.
