Wy wife has lupus and may be looking at dialysis and a kidney transplant in the near future. I'd like to hear about anyone's experiences with the different types of dialysis.
In particular, she's very active at the gym and plays beach vollyeball several times a week. I'd be interested to know to what extent anyone has been able to continue similar activities while undergoing dialysis. I'm more interested in the "nuts and bolts" type issues. Things like keeping the catheter site clean (for peritoneal dialysis), getting hit in the arm with the ball (hemodialysis) etc...
Thanks in advance for any advice/thoughts.
