Traveling while on Dialysis
Looking for others who do in home dialysis and take the equipment with them. We can have supplies delivered to our camp location if we give 2 weeks notice. Wife is on PD dialysis with Fresenius.

I was looking into this when my wife was bordering on dialysis, thankfully her kidney responded enough to keep her on a watch program. Maintaining a reasonably sterile environment to satisfy your clinic might be problematic. I would not rely on campgrounds to accept your shipments unless a relationship has been previously established, many campgrounds do not regularly accept guests shipments. Perhaps finding clinics in locations would be a better idea and make advanced arrangements to receive fluids. In the past, we traveled with Grandma who required regular chemotherapy infusions. We toured from Los Angeles to South Dakota and back, with advanced reservations at area hospitals, including a letter sent in advance by the Oncologist our 6 week travel was completed without a hitch. My best to you and yours. There are also a few Facebook groups offering conversation and support to dialysis patients.
