Thought I would take a few moments out of my day and let people know that I am feeling much better. I have been on antibiotics for a few days and that has helped tremendously. I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and concerns... I really am back to myself and am feeling better then I have in weeks!! I probably didn't rest enough when I went from one form of dialysis to another.
Other then being knocked down for a few days, everything else is going well with the new form of dialysis. I really just plug myself in and lay in bed. I am able to sleep fine and am able to walk to the kitchen in case I want a drink/snack. What happens is the machine fills me up with some fluid, and it works as a "magnet" to get all the toxins out of my body. It "dwells" for about an hour, it drains, and repeats that 4x throughout the evening. The machine is quiet, but loud enough so I know that it is working. I have a system set up, and am able to get from one place to another. It has been about a month and I am STILL following rules and procedures. I did have a fatty-mc-fatty Burger King sandwich today, but F it. I don't care!! :) I can "walk" it off. Funny thing, I literally can walk without thinking I am dying!! Amazing what 30 extra lbs does to someone!
Patti is getting ready for the Kidney Klassic, which is in just 2 weeks!! June 5, 2010 at Knights of Columbus Hall... 4323 Washington Street. She has told me that over 100 people have signed up to golf, and she hopes about 1000 people will come to the dinner!! PLEASE tell your family, your friends, your neighbors, and whomever else likes to help people in dire need!!It really is going to be a lot of fun! Many friends and family have been working really hard on making this successful, and all we need now is a lot of people to come and drink the beer and eat the food. It is going to be a great time for an amazing cause.
So once again, thanks for the thoughts, the concerns, and most definitely the patience to deal with me. See you all on the 5th!!
