Yes, she will have to do it every night, but once she gets used to it, she should do fine. Mom definitely didn't want to drive to another city to do dialysis 3 times per week for 5-6 hours a day, I don't blame her.
She finally got to take a shower and did fine all by herself. I know that sounds strange, but she hasn't been allowed to shower....only wash. She has to take the bandage off her cath and then just use some tape to hold it up so it doesn't dangle while in the shower. It could cause it to "pull' where the incision is and cause infection. She did fine and was able to put the bandage back on without any help.....her first time. "By George....I think she's got it" .....
