Ann, they did tell us about not using that arm for BP readings, and he doesn't - ever.

I spoke to a nurse this morning. She said she would talk to the supervising nurse. Hopefully, someone will give me some advice when I pick Ben up in a little while.

I didn't know blood thinners are in the diasalate, although that makes sense.

I just looked at an online list of foods wit Vitamin K and most are on the no-no list for dialysis patients. He already eats lots of lettuce and I often bake with blueberries. The rest aren't allowed or he doesn't like.

Thanks for the explanation about the blood thinner, Ann, and your advice. I appreciate it very much.
