My Weekends

At this time, since I do not have to go to the clinic to have treatment on Saturdays at this time of having training on the machine that is coming to my home when training is over and I don’t have to go anywhere to dialysis at the clinic anymore, I am having treatment 4x to 5x times a week in training sessions for home dialysis. Today, a gentleman who is doing hemodialysis at home, met me under permission from the nurse, and I met another home dialysis patient named Keith this morning around 11:45 AM before he left after his monthly visit. I am looking 👀 forward to doing dialysis in my home as well even though my home is a small apartment in a complex of 128 apartments. Woohoo!! I do look forward to my weekends because Deb and Jackie do not stay long so I can have more time at home alone on Saturdays and Sundays and every other Sunday, unless told differently by my boyfriend’s mom that they are not able to make it, come for an hour or two to visit. I rarely have company outside my caregivers Jackie and Deb here everyday. I don’t mind being alone at night because I have my fur felines Magic and Millie. 

My Fur Babies

I will not argue with anyone about loving my cats very much or not. Both cats have their personalities and both cats have their own way of doing things and meow. Both cats were kittens when they were both adopted and when I had the two stints in the hospital and nursing home experiences in 2022, Magic was home all by himself with my caregivers Julie M and Jackie P going over everyday to make sure he had plenty of water and food, and stimulation with toys and attention, I was NOT worried about him, but I surely missed having him with me. While gone practically half of the year 2022, I will NEVER experience another nursing home ever again! My mom and caregiver Jackie will make sure I am never sent to another nursing home again to live permanently and lose my fur babies. If I ever lost Magic or Millie, I would deal with severe depression and anxiety to the point I would never be happy again and withdraw within myself like I did when I was at St. Elizabeth’s Nursing Home when my doctor at the time, Dr. H never spoke to my caregiver or my mother upon my request and my caregivers Jackie and Julie, and my mom had prepared my place to accommodate my needs at home perfectly by getting the equipment my doctor failed to order for me for no reason was given from her, that I got ordered from the doctor and nurse at the home, and out of the home to my own home to be with Magic had finally happened. I was excited and nervous at the same time. Magic came to visit me while I was at the nursing home in Evansville, Wisconsin, but he didn’t like it too much. My poor baby boy meowed so loudly that he was very upset. It upset me to the point that I cried myself to sleep that night. I’ve decided to allow my caregivers get another cat for Magic 🐈‍⬛ and on December 2023, a very timid little 3 month kitten named Millie Rose Blossom became a member of the family to be Magic 🐈‍⬛ kitty’s little buddy even though she was a female cat. 🐈… I love my babies, not less or more than the other, and loving my babies equally does seem impossible for they both have different personalities and ways of getting attention, but it’s true that I love both equally. Magic is the cuddler while Millie is not, but we share time with one another in ways that suit her needs for attention. She became friends with Deb one fine day Deb wanted her to get out from under my lift chair and she would not move, so Deb petted her to no end and sti would not get out from underneath the lift chair! That one day of being petted started a friendship of trust that allowed Deb to pet her while she jumped on the lift chair or bed to demand for pets, lol. Every now and then, she will let me pet her while she is on my bed before I get in for the afternoon and night. On the weekends, I lay on my bed and do what I need to do online, watch tv or read a book. I enjoy the time with both cats as well. Millie and I have conversations while Magic and I snuggle/cuddle in bed.
