“The fact that I work, having the energy to work all day, and have our gatherings with friends or family, I’m able to be a better provider for my family now and to keep up with them.”

Robert will miss his in-center team when he heads to home dialysis.

"It feels like it's a whole village taking care of me."

“They did a presentation of home hemodialysis, and I jumped right on it. I said, ‘Feel better? Do it on my own time? I could travel too? All right let’s go ahead and start it’”.

“I’m working on my bucket list, which is all the places I want to go. I can do that now. Even beyond that, I think I’m still here, and alive, and functioning as well as I do, because I’m doing home hemo.”

Lou-Anne lives life well thanks to dialysis at home.

“There are some real advantages to it, especially the flexibility, and the way you can customize it to your needs.”

“We get to laugh and we get to exercise at the same time and it’s a real fun experience.”

“Dialysis has reversed the whole thing. Now I do 100 pushups in the morning and I do 100 pushups in the evening. I do 50 laps, and then I’ll go ride the bike. I’m not trying to impress you, I’m trying to express what dialysis can do.”

“They teach you how to do for yourself, and that is so important. It gives you a sense of independence, even though we know we’re dependent on these people for a lot of things. And they’re certainly there for you”.

“It’s terrific. Makes you feel a whole lot better… and if you know you’re going to be laughing, that’s just really nice, really good.”
