my cousin is on dialysis and he planned to go to OZ (from UK) and but for an simple infection he would have done it. It needs a lot of logistic planning with hospitals etc lined-up.

He made it to Toronto for Xmas one year but he was, at the time, on CPD. They use the perritineum (sp?) as an osmotic membrane and use a sugar type solution to draw the mineral/salts across. In the UK they don't let you go unless all the liquid bags are stored in the arrival location or at the suppliers. He had to dialyse in the airport before leaving and maybe on the plane across. I think he went to Spain like that.

He was back on hospital dialysis when he planned the Oz trip. He insured against his wife being unable to go but the insurance was so much it was cheaper to loose the fare for himself.

By all means discuss CPD with the experts but it may not be for everyone.
Carl caught MRSA and it really put him off CPD or maybe he could not go back to it. You have to be scrouplessly clean and avoid hospitals - ha!

PM me if you want me to ask questions but I bet there are more knowledgeable people around here.

Carl could drink a little alcohol on CPD but he is TT now - it is easier he reckons. His complication is that he is on Warfarin, which was probably the start of the problem.
