I do have to admit that I am glad that dialysis is over for the weekend. I did not sit in my regular chair #18 at all this week, but only on Monday. Otherwise I sat in chair #20 on Wednesday, and chair #17 on Friday. I love the change a lot as long I am still in pod #5 most of the time. I have been in pod #3 and pod #1 a couple of times in the clinic, but I prefer pod #5 the most because there is more sunlight that I like over the lights on in the clumic’s ceiling or lack of at times.
Dr. Anjum has changed his visits from Mondays to Fridays and I did find it odd at first, but like it much better because our blood labs are done on Wednesday once a month and H & H twice a month. Anyway, Dr. Anjum visited with me within minutes of begin taken off the machine for the weekend, and we upped my goal weight to 93.5 kilograms over only 93 kilogram. I feel it is a more reasonable move to be rather at 93 kilograms is unrealistic now that I can get to 93.8 and closer. Not a bad visit with the doctor I can say.
Anyway, I had a newer technician today, but Jon the technician was helpful getting mc in and out on the scale, and out the door practically an hour ahead of schedule. I got out by 2:15 pm and home to wait for Jackie until 3 pm in the lobby.
On Monday, Kay the social worker talked to me and I did the wellbeing test and I turned it in on Wednesday afternoon before I was taken off the machine for the day. I do admit that I hate these kinds of tests as I feel it is intrusive to my feelings at a point. Why would I want to do myself in? I have two fur babies to remind me that life is precious to its end now, and I have seen two cats grow up from kitten hood to cathood and live longish cat lives. Now, my cats Magic is going to be 5 in May and Millie will be 2 in July. My fur babies are growing up fast. I cherish them. I just hate emotional wellbeing tests. They are tests that are intrusive beings of lives.
Anyway, this week, dialysis and my other appointments this week have been relatively busy and okay. I still wish that I was not at MercyHealth dialysis, but they know me better than SSM Healthcare. I am going through the kidney transplant evaluation process of getting my name on the transplant list.
