Next Thursday, April 1, I will again be going "under". Not a transplant of course, because when that happens, i will be pooping my pants in excitement or because of my nerves. Haven't figured that one out just yet. Anyway... April 1 I will be getting a "catheter" placed in my belly so that i can have Dialysis from home. Question one, I won't be able to do this for about a month until the Catheter has time to heal and make itself a home. Question two, I won't be able to wear bikini's at the Schrack pool because i can't get it submerged in water. Sorry girls!! ha ha ha!! Question three, I will not have to go to a treatment location three times a week, i will just have to "plug in" when i go to bed nightly. Yes, i will be doing this every night, but the doctors/nurses think that this will be best for my current lifestyle. By "lifestyle" i mean, leaving my house, leaving town, seeing friends, working nights, and all that jazz!! So hopefully I will be able to work some more at night so i can get some bills down. I asked yesterday and the Financial Advisor said that if i didn't have insurance every Dialysis treatment is 1300 dollars. Holy Crap!!
So this morning i met with a doctor that will put me completely under next week. He said that everything looked good, and that it shouldn't be too big of a deal. Here's to hoping that is the case. I will be going to Clarkson Hospital a week from today, and if everything goes ok, i should be out and resting no more then 12 hours later.
I promise to keep everypne up to date. Thanks for your patience, support, and love!!
