My FIL has been on dialysis for about a year now. He was doing an at home version, but got a terrible case of sepsis, almost killed him. Now he has to go in for hemodialysis 3-4 times a week. It is really hard on him. He doesn't feel well after, but the next day is usually okay. Haven't seen him in a while, but from what MIL said, he is having a problem with ascites, fluid in the abdomen, which means he is having problems with his liver leaking fluid.
