[quote=Anonymous]My parent has been on dialysis for many years. Total kidney failure, and needs to go every other day for 4 hours. It's hard to predict what types of side effects dialysis will bring...some people have chills, pain, cramps, etc. during and after the procedure. So it's hard to say how it will go--it really is different for each person. Hopefully the dialysis center is close by. Also, most are open close to 24 hours, so hopefully you can get the time slot that works best. The other thing is that--it can be really boring and you can't move around or do much. So make sure your parent has some movies on a tablet. Warm blankets and some high-carb snacks for energy afterward. That kind of thing.[/quote]
