With doing the at home hemo, do you need a home nurse to help set it up each treatment? Or do you get all the training to do it entirely yourself?

I ask because I was also diagnosed with ESRD last December. I started out on hemo, but the Dr's wanted to get me off of hemo and onto PD pretty quick because my blood clots so badly in the machine. I've been on PD for a little over a year and only recently they've (tentatiely) taken me off dialysis as my kidney function did improve a bit. But they have told me that if it gets worse again, which its likely to, then I'll have to look at hemo again.
