As I sit here at dialysis today, working on my DD projects of writing and wanting to work on My Gift of Life Story, I have to admit that my caregiver is sending me appointments for me to schedule rides with MTM for October. I have a busy month ahead and for October 10th, 2025, I am LOOKING FORWARD TO starting to learn how a dialysis machine works for doing dial in the home! That is ONE reason WHY we chose to leave MercyHealth Dialysis Centrr and have been coming to Fresenius Kidney Care Clinic as of July 1, 2025. Dr. Anjum and Dr. Shaikh do NOT support at this time! I left, to be very honest with you, was because the techs and nurses, and other staff workers had issues with finding a way to weigh me in and out, and became demanding of my ability to get in and out of my power chair speedily. They could NOT weigh me in my power chair for a while until they got a big enough scale, and they FINALLY got one, the scale broke down twice because patients messed with the scale and the clinic had to replace the scale part that showed the weight twice. The first time it broke down, the part was in back order for several weeks. What a patient did with the first part was mess with the scale by pushing one to many buttons at once making the scale freeze and the part could not be restarted. The second one was the same and the patient jammed the buttons again?! They ordered another part that was a little different and better, and put a note on the scale NOT TO TOUCH the scale and the employees are the ONLY operators of the scale! Yay, I was okay with that, but they weighed me and could NOT weigh me correctly! A mouth later I had left MercyHealth Dialysis Center in a happy mood that they didn’t have to deal with me anymore. Their attitude my last week was rush me in and out, and on the last day, the nurse Tiffany made a farewell sign and taped it to the tv screen for me to see, and the technicians taking care of me were very quiet around me and didn’t say much. They made my last day at Mercy of those days I was glad to leave and NOT return the following Monday; however, they should have had me the following Monday, but I ended up having to wait until Tuesday to have treatment at Fresenius Kidney Care on Tuesday, and Jackie, my caregiver, found out and felt that the dialysis team and staff pushed me out because they were upset I was going elsewhere, and they ALL KNEW why I was leaving, but THEY MADE my last day a nightmare instead of being happy. It was a sad day because they gave me such a hard time that day! I WAS GLAD and HAPPY that I was going elsewhere. I would have called in that Monday if they had me on the schedule since dialysis two days on the type of machinE’s they use. Now, as far as the home dialysis machines go, they are a little different and we have to dialyze up to 3 hours a day and have one day off M-F, and I will learn more later and get more details.
