We are currently setting up my dads room are there any tips for us? Anything you couldn’t live without or made it easier?
We are taking everything out and putting a hospital bed for him and then going to look for a table the right size for the machine.
I want to organize us. Is there anything else we should put on our list that the Dialysis center might forget or not know ?? I just want to have a good set up and easy access to everything. Organization is a good thing. 
Thank you!
I’ve recently started PD myself and found an awesome mobile computer desk to hold my machine. It has 3 tiers (not counting the keyboard tray). On the main desk area I keep my supplies handy, like tape and minicaps, etc. On the second level, where a computer monitor would go, is where my machine sits. To either side of the machine there is a raised platform where I guess you might put speakers or a printer or something. I put my bags there. Under the desk there’s a shelf where the CPU would go - I put my drain bags on. And the best part is, it’s on wheels! I’m so excited with my set-up, it kind of takes some of the suckiness out of being on dialysis (yeah, I know, BAD Karen - positive thoughts!). Anyway, I highly recommend it - ask at your local office supply store for a mobile computer desk/work station and see if it will work for you.

If you have a digital camera, you’re welcome to post a photo of your set-up, Karen. Seeing it would help other folks understand better how cool it is and how well it works for you.
I suspect that you think that your dad needs a hospital bed to do dialysis. In fact, most people on PD sleep in their own bed. Keeping one’s own bed helps them sleep more normally. From an emotional perspective, using a hospital bed can make someone feel sicker. One one of the goals should be to help your father live as normally as possible with as few changes.
