Dialysis Update I
I have a little time left to dialyze yet as I am at dialysis today. Dialyzing for 2 hours and 45 minutes does not always seem to be a long process, but sometimes it does. Today is going fine and my life here at the clinic is okay today. I got hooked up on time at 11:45 AM for the first time in a long time, but I am not complaining about it today. It is my real time to be on at 11:45 AM and they are short handed again today and a nurse is a technician today, my technician, and this nurse is very particular with her patients and co-workers. I like the nurse who is being a tech today. Even the Director of the dialysis clinic is being a nurse today getting vitals of the patients’ heartbeat and check their breathing. All is good in Pod 5. I am in chair #19 today and it’s a nice change to be on the other side with two patients across the way in chairs 16 and 17 today. I do r have my buddy Ray in my sights today because he’s in a different pod today 😳. Anyway, that’s okay. I have my favorite techs in my pod today, too. A new technician is learning the ropes. Her name is Felicia and she’s pretty cool!
Well, I have 1 hour and under 15 minutes left to dialyze before being taken off. I will write an update when I get home by 3 PM or after I get settled in my bedroom before Jackie leaves for the evening. I have been sitting here listening to a patient’s television program and relaxing since I did not have but two to three hours of sleep because I was still awake at 4 AM before putting my electronics down from a while to pick them up again by 7 AM to play games again since I was awake. Tomorrow is another day and I have an appointment at home with my IRIS consultant at 1PM and I hope I can go to my nail appointment tomorrow at 12 noon. Chances of rain tomorrow 😳😓 but if it does rain, I can reschedule. My nails will be fine for another few days for sure even though I need to fix one nail that lost its color last week because I had an itch fest going on two weeks ago and the color peeled off all the way. Just one nail and of course it’s ’the bird finger’ on my left hand, lol. I can laugh about it at least 🙃👍🏻
I have 57 minutes left now.
