Dialysis

I wanted to explain what Dialysis is like and what goes on. I am not the best at remembering all the appropriate information, so I asked the Amazing Suzi at Dialysis to explain what the machine did and how everything worked. Hope this is able to answer a few more of your questions.

I really just sit in the chair and listen to people. I hate a lot of them, not due to any fault of theirs, I just don't want to chit chat and talk about the weather. Yes, I am mean. Do I care? God no. Some people just don't like to talk and shoot the shit.

Dialysis has been getting easier. My nurse puts me on a certain profile that will take off a lot of fluid fast, and then slows down as the treatment continues. Weeks ago I wasn't able to leave right away or even drive myself home. Now I am able to do all of that. I can drive home and my blood pressure is much more stable. Overall, everything has been ok, but the God's honest truth is that I am ready to do all of this from home. Thursday will be another big day in the "new normal". When the Catheter is placed, I will be weeks away from being able to do this at home. And for that, I am thankful. And for all the other freedoms that will come with the "at-home treatment".
