We just returned home after another successfull vacation with NxStage System One.  A week long vacation at a friend’s farm in New Jersey over Memorial Day and another few days.  Warm sunny weather and a week among friends.

I took bags of premixed dialysate, saline and my cart of all my supplies. 

 
I use this cart when I dailize six times per week at home, and I put it in the back of our SUV when I travel. The  picture is too small to read the tags on the drawers, but they are from top to bottom – Test Supplies/Misc, Tape Antiseptic, Syringes, Needle Sets, Blue Pads, Fluid Warmer Sets, and Trash Bags.

I also pack the bag warmer, cartridges, Clorox wipes, liquid soap, Purell, paper towels, and the manuals.  All of it including a weeks worth of dIalysate, other miscellaneous supplies fits in the back of our Toyota Highlander.

If you’re like me, the ability to travel on a planned trip or a last minute trip is one of the reasons we decided to do Home Dialysys. We take one or two trips a years and travel within the state of Michigan and across the country.
