A New Day
Woke up to a new day around 6:30 am. Today, being Friday, I have one more dialysis treatment at 11:45 am to 2:30 pm if the technician of pod #5 gets me on before 12 noon today. Being on the machine for two hours and forty-five minutes is not a bad time, I do not like to be at the clinic after 3 pm these days. I get up around 8:15 am on my dialysis appointment days that are Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. If I have any physical therapy appointments to go to, I still get up at 8:15 am to get ready for the day and have breakfast before I leave for about 3 to 4 hours of my day away from home. It is part of my schedule and plans for the day. I do not mind going to a clinic 3x a week for a desirable period of time, but I sometimes have a rough start in my day or have awakened up to a rough day or week, my mood can be showing very well on my face. I am very readable. I do not dare to have a bad mood at dialysis because the staff there are not so kind if I throw a mood at them. Although I have no major mood adjustment right now, when I do have a bad mood at dialysis, the staff are always writing notes in my file. Their notes were noticed by the kidney transplant team at Froedert Hospital have seen all the notes and almost denied me for the evaluation to have my name on the kidney transplant list.
Deb is here now, so it is time for me to get my hair washed, a bath (sponge), and get dressed for the day. I will be leaving for dialysis at 10:40 am when my ride arrives. After getting dressed for the day, my hair brushed nicely, I will go to my power chair in the living room to have a fried egg with cheese in an egg wrap since I do not have any bread right this minute.
