With this being another play-by-play sort of day, I am glad I am almost done. In order to pass the time, I am reading James Patterson’s book, but decided to take a little break to give an update. I am excited to be almost done for the day and get back on schedule on Friday until the week of Christmas. I can see JM’x reasoning about throwing all the patients’ schedule off just because of Thanksgiving Day, Christmas and New Years. JP is right that it causes me some anxiety and unnecessary worry about who is coming to take ca re of me in the morning and get me out of my apartment to go downstairs in the morning to wait for my medical ride to and from.
Now, seriously, I have just started to get on the scale walking onto the scale last week. JP has me walking at home when we transfer from power chair, to bed, and my recliner, and walking to use the bathroom on a daily basis now. That is a good feeling, but I still have my days where I feel I will not make it to and from the bathroom because I am sometimes unsteady and my equilibrium is slightly off. Odd, right? Maybe, sometimes to be very honest with you. I still have my doubts at times, and I need to have more confidence in my progress to this day. I need to go and allow a cramp on my left side by my hip and where my left kidney was a long time again.my left kidney was gone by the time I reached age seventeen. I learned by an ultrasound test that my right kidney was still there but very small, and blood tests showed it was functioning at 4%, and only kidney needs to function normally at 25% before a kidney transplant is necessary, and by age seventeen was when I had the need for dialysis and a kidney transplant. It was the biggest surgery I have had in my lifetime. With a short time left, I am going to rest and take it easy so I can get ready to walk and get in my power chair, get on the scale walking onto it. Because I am a little bit slow getting on and off the scale, I want my strength not to fail me. Anyway, my weight was not bad, and the machine is taking 1.5 kilograms of fluid out of me, I just want to take it easy now. I am also going to see where I left off reading and get back to it when I get into bed at home this afternoon. Goodbye for now and more later when dinner is done and I have rested for the rest of the afternoon. Tada for now—TTFN.
