Dialysis is going smoothly and I have about an 30 minutes left to dialyze, and the treatment is going smoothly without any alarms or problems with the catheter or the machine today. I find that a big deal because my caregivers are not having to get up to stop the alarm and fix the machine or catheter. When certain alarms occur on the machine the girls do not understand they look in the book about it and call Stephanie or Rosa at the number provider for us or call the nurse on call through the NexStage  company  uses to manage the problem. Sometimes a problem cannot be resolved and we have to return my blood, and take me off earlier than planned. Last week, during a treatment session without returning my blood because the machine had an issue with my blood NOT going where it was supposed to go in the dialyzer if I am remember correctly..
