my deepest sympathy for your loss.
My dad has had to start kidney dialysis - (pd) last sept and I was amazed at the incompetence at the hospital and lack of communication.
he came out of it and is doing better now, and the best thing was getting out of the hospital.
So each day is just a gift to have him around, and now he can enjoy his two granddaughters. (2yrs and 2mths)
