Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Mark, You have had quite a difficult time with PD haven't you? Sorry I can't answer your specific questions since I am not yet on dialysis, but I just wanted to say I hope you can get it sorted out without a hospital visit.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Mark, Unfortunately it sounds like you are experiencing the same thing I was. My catheter migrated upwards and got wrapped up and wouldn't drain. They had to go in and move it back. Sometimes when they put them in they move around, but once they are in and working for a while they generally stay where they are. Good Luck with it all, it really isn't all that bad having it moved. > Hello its me again with another worry.

Can you tell me whats involved if I have to go back into hospital to get it moved? is it a new line? local or general anestheitic?

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Thanks , I have tried all the things they have told me to do but to no avail. I hope it doesnt come to a hospital stay but its looking more likely seeing as the drainage problem is getting worse.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Oh Mark, Well, if the drainage problem seems to be getting worse, it is best you go in and get it taken care of. I hope the procedure is easy on you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Mark, When I had mine manipulated they did it laproscopically and I was under general anesthesia though I'm sure it could be done under twilight sleep as well. I had surgery at 10:00 one night and went home at noon the next day. I was able to start PD again a couple of days later. > Mark, > > > > Unfortunately it sounds like you are experiencing > > the same thing I > > was.
