Be funny, frank but polite. THX.
can you still do the cruise even though it's normally for people who do peritoneal dialysis?
Hey Maureen, thx for asking! Unfortunately, no I can't go on a "regular" cruise... they don't have the hemodialysis machines that clean us out via bloodstream, and I need to go to treatment three times a week. Natch!
Dialysis cruises?! That sounds like the most awesome thing ever! Go go go!
The cruises do have hemo on board, not just PD. Their website says "We use the new generation Fresenius 2008K" - and not everyone on board is a dialysis patients, only a small percentage. I had looked into it for our daughter but we never went http://www.dialysisatsea.com/home.aspx - anyway, I came across your blog because I run a website called http://www.ihatedialysis.com and I saw your post from Feb. that would be an even better title! Well, I hope things have gotten better for you. It's a tough life for a young person -- as they say -- Dialysis is not for wimps!
Best,
Karol
