Today I am using my power chair to get around. I have been tethered to the machine at dialysis and have two hours and twenty-seven minutes left to dialyze. All is going smoothly. My blood pressure is not high. It is until 11:45 AM that the machine rechecks blood pressure, which is 159/92. Then every thirty minutes after treatment, the machine will check my BP.
Today my boyfriend and his Mom are coming after church. JM was able to attend church today, so I will also see her this afternoon. Yay for me.
Prayers Needed
am so A dialysis patient is in the hospital for some reason. I know he has not been feeling well this week. He is my thoughts and prayers, and I ask others to pray for him. His name is J. Thank you.
Caregiver Happiness
Since Wednesday this week, I have only had JP and JM as my two caregivers. It has been less stressful and very nice. No more companies will be coming in at this time because it stresses me out. My BP was high a lot, and what T did on Monday broke my trust with the company. She, T, really made JP very upset because I told her everything that T did. I want to say who Tis but it would be out of maliciousness and spite if I did, so it is not going to happen PERIOD. Anyway, although it is more work for JP, I believe she is happier. I know I am very happy and not entirely sorry. I did not want to say goodbye to S and SP has been gone for three weeks. JP and JM take good care of me. I do feel pressured or anxious knowing that they are not coming when MR and her company kept changing things the minute they started working with and for me. JP rarely got any rest with MR’s worker. It turned out badly. I will not be using that company again. It is going to take me some time to trust in-home healthcare companies again. Sad, but true.
Blood Pressure
It is holding its own.
More Later
I will be back later today.
