JP will be here shortly to get me to the bathroom, get dressed for the day then, get me in my power chair and out the door to wait for her ride. I hope she is not anxious today. I will not handle it very well right now because it is not my my original dialysis day and I am dealing with anxiety right now, and doing my best not to scream and cry: I have Wednesday and Thursday off from dialysis and will return Friday morning, and begin regular dialysis days again next Monday until the week of Christmas. Christmas is on a Monday this year and I dialysis on Sunday on December 24, 2023 this year. Another week of scheduling patients on a different day that week. Then after New Year’s, I will be happy to get back on my regular dialysis schedule. That will be super and great, and the holidays will be over for the year.
When It’s the Holiday Season
When it is the holiday season, I get emotional and out of sorts these days. Do not get me wrong, but I do love the holiday season because of my anxiety can get me by with some or more anxiety. I get more anxiety and anxious during the holiday season. I find it more difficult and depressing at times, too.1 cannot handle a lot of people in my bubble. If there are too many people sharing my bubble space, then I get emotional and want to retreat to my safety zone away from family. You get it! More later.
