having dialysis








so now it was time for dialysis, my partner was taken into hospital for an operation to have a tube inserted in his stomach, as he would be having capd dialysis, where dialysis fluid is drained in and out of his peritoneum(not sure if i have spelt that right) rather than being done by cleansing the blood through a machine which is want i thought of when i heard dialysis first mentioned.

That sounds really painful and intrusive. I always thought dialysis was just a needle in your arm!
