Whats next?

Just out of hospital after 10 days.
I had PD catheter inserted on 4th Feb and started dialysis on Monday 8th.
My eGFR is now around 7%, it literally fell from 50% in the summer and 35% in November to 25% in December and two weeks ago I was crap.
To date I have done 4 hours, 5 hours and 10 hours. Everything seems to be ok and I have cleared some good number apparently.
So how long before I start to feel better? If at all? The team in hospital reckon one or two months. Is that accurate?
I do not expect to run the London Marathon but I would like to ab able to go for a 30 minute walk without sitting down after 5 minutes!
All I want to be able to do is go back to work and do something like 40 hours per week, for my sanity as much as anything else.
IGAN Nephropathy was the culprit.
