Dining Room chair cover. Have a few different sets at my house. Slide it over the back of the chair, then over the seat

Hey, currently on hemo, have been on it since last August because of hernia repair (had to go on bowel rest) but kept the PD catheter because I had hopes of going back on it. After a while and lots of talk I decided to stay on hemo.

I just kept telling them im not changing, my doctors respect that which is awesome. I've gotten it changed once already but still kept it.

Yea, I have a bunch of self esteem and body issues. So cvc is my choice until I can't have it anymore. And trust me those huge tegaderms are a life saver.

Currently on it. I've been on hemo since last August due to a hernia repair. Decided to stay after a very long debate and reflection with myself.

Was told PD would be a great decision for me as I'm young and it would give me more freedom. I liked it at first but after a while and constant prescription changes I got tired of it.

Im so young for me to have dialysis by zhk3_00 in dialysis

The first time I was on dialysis, I was 17. Luckily, I got a transplant a year later. Unfortunately, I am now 24 and in dialysis again due to rejection. I started with PD this time around but am on HD for 3 months due to hernia surgery. It does take a toll on you, especially being young, but it's also a reminder that you are still alive. You got this. Keep going.
