Yesterday, I went to see a surgeon who will be placing a catheter for Peritoneal Dialysis or PD. They call it peritoneal dialysis because it happens inside your abdominal cavity which is your peritoneum. The surgery is only two incisions and one night in the hospital, but I am a little nervous. (scared!) Actually I am really getting sick of my body being cut into. (sad, depressed). But, since PD can be done at home, I'm pretty sure it will be better for my lifestyle. So the surgery will be September 16.
If you are a dialysis patient, do you have any experience with PD?
How about surgeries and scars?
