I am a very warm caring person. I've cared for my husband who is a disabled veteran for 11 years. He was diagnosed with renal failure and had to do dialysis 3 days a week 4 hours a day. Unfortunately the care he received in center was not always good and that was taking a toll on his health so after 3 years of back and forth trying different dialysis centers I took a class so we can do home hemo and I did his treatment by myself for 6 years. My husband's face lit up when I told him I was going to get training so I can do his dialysis myself at home. I was sooo happy I was able to do it and wish I had thought of it sooner. Thankfully he received a kidney about a year and a half ago. But while caring for my husband at home I could help but think about the other patients I use to meet in the center when I took my husband for his treatment that would complain about their care. I felt bad that they were not happy with the care they were receiving. You have enough things to worry about and finding someone helpful , pleasant, great attitude and person who enjoys caring for your love one should be part of your stress. I understand how important GOOD care is for a persons health both mentally and physically. I say it first hand how my husband's health deteriorated when he was being miss treated and how he flourished when he was cared for properly. I got a lot of "Good job." When I was caring for my husband they said his health were better than ever even with him being a dialysis patient. I am very proud of that.
