I don't believe that I miss informed anyone. I commented on the die slowly part then you back it up mostly with things that can kill you suddenly. Im not saying its not dangerous or wont shave years from your life. However compared to having a couple of whipped kidneys your outcome can be very positive.

Im not an expert, but one of my good friends and a few of my other friends are on dialysis some even 6 days a week. This has allowed at least one of them to live at least a extra 25 years. Blood pressure drops and the cramping are constant and seems to very with them but nonetheless it is just awful. My wife and I donated some tablets to the center to try to make the peoples time there more enjoyable. It really is an awful way to have to live. We also chip in to raffle away a dialysis 7 day cruise for people every Christmas. As you know this situation can really trap you and limit travel.

Im not making dialysis seem all warm, fuzzy and safe, but it sure beats death.
