Dialysis Update
Fri Dec 01 2023

Last Treatment of the Week

For a Friday, the weekend will be here once I leave the clinic. Today, I have one last treatment of the week. My ride got here and dropped me off at the dialysis clinic by 11:15 AM and right now, we have patients waiting for their turn to the machines for Friday morning. Yep, I am waiting for my turn on the dialysis machine this morning. For Christmas, I will be coming to dialysis on December 24th that weekend, and resume my dialysis treatment on Wednesday that week. I personally think and believe the Dialysis center does not have to move everyone around and disrupting the patients’ schedule. It makes no sense. When my schedule is disrupted, I get anxious and upset really easy. I understand that the doctors want us to dialyze three times a week to get the benefit of a very good cleaning, though. I surely do not want to gain any fluid weight during the week and days off dialysis days, either, to be very honest. It just disrupts my schedule during the week changing my schedule at the clinic.

Dialysis Update

Well, I got on between 11:45 AM and 11:50 AM today. Dialysis is going smoothly, and it has had its ups and downs with the machine today, but I am getting through treatment recently with under 30 minutes left before I weigh out for the weekend. Thank goodness for the weekend final getting here, but I have to pay my cable and phone bill when I get home, and I wish she, JP will wait until Monday for me to pay my bills. Already feeling anxious, again. I just list my pillow on the darn floor. The tech J (male) just picked it up and put it back behind my head. I have 21 minutes left to dialyze before my blood is returned and get taken off the machine. The end of my treatment for the week is coming to an end. All three treatments done.
