Dialysis is going smoothly at this time. I will be doing dialysis at home by the last week of February as we will be resuming training again. We have been having difficulty with my 9th catheter that it was replaced with my 10th catheter one Friday afternoon in Madison at Azura Medical Center in Madison. I will not be going to Mercy Hospital anymore because they screwed up with the ninth catheter. It was too short and too thick. Oh my goodness gracious, I was not having that! Anyway, Azura, the company and medical center Fresenius Kidney Care uses for their dialysis patients has a wonderful reputation for placing catheters and going there was a wonderful experience!
Today’s treatment went smoothly and without any problems. My BP went down low a few times, but it was fine at the end of treatment. Because BP went low 15 minutes before treatment was over, I got out a couple of minutes before 3 pm and my ride was already here for me to get in and home! I did get 1 kilogram of dl out despite the fact I got off 15 minutes early today!

Gosh, I hope the new one doesn't cause you any problems. You are a trooper! How's everything else going with you?
Catheter is working phenomenally. Also, the replacement catheter was taken care of in Madison, Wisconsin, and their catheters are better looking than Mercy Hospital catheters, lol.
It's the little things in life eh? 🤣🤣🤣💗💗💗
yes, it seems so at times.
