Playing Catch Up
Now, the weekend coming, and it is now Friday, I do admit that I am not fond of going to MercyHealth dialysis anymore. 🫨😦 I go because I need to. I have been unhappy with some of the staff there for a while now, and last Friday sealed the deal of trust now lost for good. Jackie and I are working on leaving MercyHealth and go to Fresenius, and I want to leave quietly, is that possible? I don’t know. Maybe not?! 😫 So, I am playing catco myself up with my journaling and thoughts once again. I have my emotional needs to be met, too. The ONLY part of MercyHealth I respect is my counselor Deb J who works at Mercy’s Behavioral Health Clinic at the building where Mercy Dialysis Center used to be.
Dialysis Update
Dialysis treatment has been going smoothly and I am on 45 minutes early and will be done by 2:10 PM and out the door by 2:30 PM today. I always call my medical ride 30 minutes before I am done. Today I said hello to my neighbors and my favorite technicians and nurses as I went by them to and from my chair. I was in chair #18 once again. Chairs #15, #19, and #20 are chairs I consider a treat when I sit in them. Yet, I kept to myself while on my iPad today.
Ok, with dialysis going smoothly today with no alarms except an occasional blood pressure error and one-time arterial pressure error because I accidentally squeezed the line, I was able to sail through treatment for the weekend.
I did see Kay the social worker walking by saying hi to patients while she spoke to other patients about their medical needs before the weekend started, but she did not say hi to me even though i looked up at her and she looked at me without saying hello to me. I wanted to cry for the rest of my treatment when that happened, but then I did not say hello to Kay. I would have acknowledged and said hello. I looked out the window across the room and saw the fluffy clouds, because it was cloudy, yet warm and a little humid. I do understand why Kay not saying hello to me bothered me so much, but it. I was glad to get downstairs when I did by 2:20 PM with Donny picking me up and Jackie already at the building talking to my neighbors and friends of the building. I have friends here I will miss, and one of them is my best friend Donna C.
Home Now
I told Jackie why I was upset and told her what happened and thought differently than l did. She said ‘good’, but I was not impressed being ignored like I was today and felt sadder to be very honest with you. I have been disliking going to Mercy’s Dialysis Center for a while now but began to keep to myself this week. I have decided to do that from now on until I leave the place and speak when spoken to and say hello and goodbye to my friends upon arrival and goodbye from now on! It is for the best. I can watch TV, eat my snacks, get on my iPad or phone, or read. It has come to this point that I need to keep to myself from now on. Anyway, the weekend has arrived, and I have plans tomorrow to see my sweetheart Ken and his mom for a bit after church ⛪️…
A Passion
Getting books from the library is and always been super fun for me this year. I love to read books of different genres but most favorite is mystery, law and order, some horror or thriller, fantasy and Christian-based, and once in a while a love story. To be honest, I am not fond of love stories and movies with sexual activity going on, but if it about how a family came about with their ups and downs of family life and issues, I will read it like Danielle Steel’s book Thurston House. I love reading crime stories that really happened like the movie Candy portrayed from a murder in the 1980’s. Seen the movies and read the book. Reading a 📕 is a loved passion of mine. Writing is a passion of mine, too.
Time to Relax Now
With yet a lot to say today, I am looking T the time. It is going on 10 PM now and I have the weekend to catch up on my journaling, so I have no reason to rush right now. I am going to turn the light off and watch something on TV Roku Live until I fall asleep. The genre on TV programming is broad there too like my genres in reading. I have the next two days to catch up. So, phone down, the iPad closed, the door is locked and I am safe in bed, I am going to say adios for now and come back tomorrow where my thoughts will continue. Please forgive me for my entry for being sooooooo long today. Thank you!
