I could call it that, right???
As I type, I'm refilling...with fresh "magic soup". I've already drained. This is Exchange #3 of 4 for the day.
OK. There. Now I'm done with #3 of 4.
The trouble with manual "PD" exchanges is that it's a constant interruption from my day, every four hours. I am glad that I don't have to have another graft in one of my arms again, for hemo. (as we tried late in January of this year, but it got infected and had to come out, in mid-March). But, I'll be even more glad when I switch to the "PD" machine, which will probably mean having 9-hour nights...but at least I won't have interruptions to my daily activities, and I may even be able to go back to work...but that's probably damn wishful thinking.
No wonder people just want to get a transplant ASAP...or at least, THIS person wants to get a transplant ASAP if not sooner.
I'm not holding my breath, but maybe, IF I can only get Medi-Cal, I'll be able to get re-listed at Sharp, and maybe I'll be closer to getting that transplant than I fear I might be. In other words, I fear it might be a longer wait than absolutely necessary...or called for. I mean, I've been accruing time on one list or another since June 2007. That's two years. So, essentially, I should NOT have a 5-year wait ahead of me AT ALL! I'm just afraid I will have a 5-year wait, if not longer. I don't know.
The other night, I said I was going to start in and write more details of my own past. And I will. But first, I need a break.
FYI: no matter what kind of dialysis a person does, I promise you that it does wear a body out!!
Till later, or till some time this weekend.
Have a LOVELY evening!!!
Ta-taaaaaa....for now.
