00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:06.123
You're just as healthy with PD as you are with

NOTE Confidence: 0.89596027135849

00:00:06.209 --> 00:00:06.640
hemo.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9506356716156006

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:11.040
15 years ago I was diagnosed with kidney problems.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8362746238708496

00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:13.680
I was going to have to go on dialysis.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9178515076637268

00:00:13.760 --> 00:00:17.672
My nephrologist told me to go to a kidney smart

NOTE Confidence: 0.9178515076637268

00:00:17.755 --> 00:00:22.750
class where they teach people who are having failing kidneys

NOTE Confidence: 0.9178515076637268

00:00:22.834 --> 00:00:27.079
about what types of dialysis are available to them.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8919300436973572

00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:31.963
I was pretty well convinced from about my nephrologist told

NOTE Confidence: 0.8919300436973572

00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:32.960
me about PD.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8566673994064331

00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:37.781
You know, I had the surgery, he placed the catheter,

NOTE Confidence: 0.8566673994064331

00:00:37.867 --> 00:00:41.643
I was taught how to use the catheter, how to

NOTE Confidence: 0.8566673994064331

00:00:41.729 --> 00:00:43.960
be on peritoneal dialysis.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9472669959068298

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.080
PD is just no problem at all.

NOTE Confidence: 0.941815197467804

00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:50.960
Your PD nurse becomes an important person in your life.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8506847023963928

00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:54.760
She teaches you how to use PDI.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9269925951957703

00:00:55.400 --> 00:00:57.360
Still do everything I want to do.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9419504404067993

00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.760
I can interface better with my family on PD.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9022579193115234

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:03.880
They know now that I'm on PD.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9405373930931091

00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:08.953
But to them, my life hasn't changed at all because

NOTE Confidence: 0.9405373930931091

00:01:09.037 --> 00:01:09.959
I see that.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8044095635414124

00:01:09.960 --> 00:01:13.320
I can see them anytime I want on PDI.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9732629060745239

00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:15.400
Have all the energy in the world to do that.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9159324765205383

00:01:16.240 --> 00:01:19.373
Takes me about 20 minutes and it's all ready to

NOTE Confidence: 0.9159324765205383

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:19.639
go.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9462335705757141

00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:22.640
Then I go about my day.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8177216053009033

00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:26.559
I still get to ride my motorcycle and I still

NOTE Confidence: 0.8177216053009033

00:01:26.622 --> 00:01:27.679
get to oil paint.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9249536395072937

00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.560
You're going to be the master of your own self.

NOTE Confidence: 0.9246370196342468

00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.234
Those are just a few of the things that I

NOTE Confidence: 0.9246370196342468

00:01:34.295 --> 00:01:35.079
can do on PD.
