Dialysis Training

I started my dialysis training this week. A lot to remember, many steps that need to be followed. Can't skip any or I must start over. The dialysis nurse and I made up a little cheat sheet that I can follow along so I don't miss a step. I was doing 3 exchanges at the Center with my dialysis nurse. First day went great but yesterday I had some pain in my lower abdomen but it did decrease when I filled the fluid back in the peritoneal. Today went so good. My dialysis nurse packed up all my equipment and brought to my apartment. To help me set up my area where I'll do my dialysis. Once we set everything up I did my first exchange in my apartment. Then tonight before bed I'll do my first exchange by myself. I'm a bit nervous about doing the first exchange myself.
As Cindy(dialysis nurse) said, "take your time and follow your steps. You'll do fine"
Guess if she didn't think I could handle this by myself she wouldn't have me doing it already. I know I can do this and this is what I have to do. I can't quite see the light at the end of the tunnel but at least I'm in the tunnel. So I'll get there.
