Yesterday Michelle from KidneyLink conducted her interface with my wife and me for about an hour. It was productive time spent and we plan on continuing with the annual visits in the future. She went over in detail all my meds and found two that were not on my medication list. One was D3 an OTC I’m taking on the advice of my GP and the consent of my Nepro; the other was a prescription cream that I use for dry skin mainly as a result of diabetes. The bottom line of the visit is that she found me, and us by association, the “us” including my wife as my caregiver, to be at the top of the game-so to speak. She said she had many 55-year-old patients in much worse shape than I am. In particular, she commented very positively about my weight and blood pressure.
If your dialysis provider has something like KidneyLInk, I suggest you consider engaging with them. I found the video below which explains better the thrust of this service.
