    Default Using NxStage and forgot your drain lines? Here is one solution:

    I spent the week in DC, bringing my NxStage and continuing to do extended overnight treatments. I set up for dialysis on Tuesday night, went through the snap and tap and then realized I did not have any drain lines when I went to connect the line from the cartridge. Sigh.

    I figured out the a solution (the windows were painted shut so that's not it). To see what I did check out this post on my blog. It comes with an embedded video which is why directly cross posting it here was not an option.
