Finished Dialysis Training

Today I finished my dialysis training. Everything went great A LOT to learn and go through. Both my dialysis nurses feel I shouldn't have any problems doing my exchanges. I was very nervous in the beginning but feel much better after the last couple days doing them by myself. The biggest thing I need to be careful of is getting an infection. EVERYTHING must be clean, sterile, and sanitized to prevent from getting infected. Just need to go slow and follow all the steps during my exchange and things will be fine.
Now that I've started dialysis. Now its waiting for that phone call from UM Fairview Transplant Center that I have a match kidney/pancreas for a transplant. We all need to cross our fingers, say a little prayer, that the phone call comes sooner then later.
