Longer than usual time between treatments..

OK, so last week I had to switch my dialysis days around...
So I went in on Monday/Wednesday/Friday instead.
That means that I'll have a longer time between treatments this weekend, since I don't go back until this Tuesday. Friday--Tuesday=4 days. Usually we're not supposed to go that long from one treatment to another, but there's really no avoiding it this time. This makes me a little nervous, but as long as I'm careful, I'm sure nothing will happen. Sometimes dialysis patients slip into a coma if they're not careful...but I'm VERY careful, so I should be okay.
Just wanted to let you know that.
Hmmmm....I must need another transfusion. I feel like I've lost my good looks again...(*sigh*) (last May, I had to have a blood transfusion because I was so anemic; and it perked me up so much that I got all my long lost good looks back, as my picture is proof of!).
I may possibly have found a potential donor--right here in the Cleveland area. In 2 to 3 weeks (WHY so long, I have no idea!), we'll find out for sure.
So far, my weekend is--in a word--FREEEEEEZING! I need more than one or two of my cats to warm me up! I sure wish I could have stayed in San Diego!!
By...the...way: in case you're wondering, my blog was kind of/sort of named for my car (er...ah...SUV, I mean), which I no longer have, which was an Isuzu Rodeo LS. I sure miss that thing, even if it wasn't that great on gas (17 miles to a gallon, usually). I had to leave it in San Diego, with a screwed-up transmission, when I came back here last year. It's in good paws--just not mine. I sure do miss California in general! Know what, though????? I'll NEVER say that I won't visit! I'll visit, I'm sure. I'll be back, California!! With enough careful planning, and coordinating with the dialysis center here as well as there, it'll work. We dialysis patients aren't supposed to have to give up traveling, I know that. Thank goodness, because I'm at the point where I could use a good vacation.
Thanks for reading again! I'll be back soon. Hope you have a beautiful rest-of-the-weekend!
Love ya!
