Great. That was my birthday.

Hi,

I am interested why your shunt is in your stomach. I've worked in dialysis for quite a while and have never seen someone with a shunt in the belly.

There was a 19-year-old girl in dialysis too, she said the worst thing about this is not being able to drink much. Especially as a young person I can imagine how annoying it is to be completely sober in bar. She once got a kidney, but suffered too much from the medication. The donor kidney ended up failing aswell after about a year..Do you go to a doctor's office for Dialysis or do you stay at home?

EDIT: I don't mean to bring you down with the kidney story, that was the only case. We had patients who came to our office to check in and say they're okay years after the transplant!
