Joel-

How do you deal with travel
when you have a night-time PD cycling machine?

In particular, if I wanted to spend a night
or two on a private sailboat, is there some way I could
deal with this, do you think?

It seems like all the PD supplies would be burdensome when
traveling. I find myself wondering whether one could switch
to Center Hemodialysis when traveling if one had both types of
access. But I'm sure that must be very non-standard and
it would be hard to get cooperation from the medical
community, I'd think.

Another question, how noisy is the machine? I'm afraid it would
disturb my husband's sleep.

Thanks,
Julie
