RE: I nearly became a raisin today because of excess fluid removal but the treament session went ok anyway
It is as if every dialysis something goes awfully wrong. In a way I find it unbelievable that the nurses still don't understand what you are going through and I keep wondering why they believe you can act "normal" and "polite" if there's an emergency.
I truly hope that not one of them will every be in a situation like yours or worse and if that is the case, they will have an eyopener and remember you and how they treated you.
Is this machine doing a better job and does it mean your dialysis time can be reduced with 30 minutes?
You took some great photos with the willow and the water in the background.
I hope you found rest and have a better time by now.
A warm embrace to you.
The treatment time can be stopped at any time depending on the request of the patient for any reason. There will be a discussion if the reason is not associated with a very depressed blood pressure especially if the patient is blacking-out, then they will do the necessary things to correct the BP while the blood is being returned to the patient.
It really feels incomplete if I will not finish the four-hour treatment time because my creatine still is high (I got tested last Thursday) even though I go there three times per week.
But now I am targeting higher body weight compared before to avoid the crashing blood pressure but yesterday it seems that the new nurse had put 3.4 Kg to be removed instead of 2.4Kg only. I should be going home with a weight of 33.2 Kg but I went home with 32.6 Kg !
That is why I was wondering after the third hour that it seems that the fluid removal is already complete and overdrawing already because I am starting to feel off with pain lightheadedness and the nasty leg cramp.
Anyway, this senior nurse had a history of miscommunication/misunderstanding with her co-nurses which sometimes lead to conflict, yelling and all that and it is always resolved because they would talk about it. She is quite feisty and says what other people normally would kept for themselves. But what I like about her is that I get results when I talk to her which is why I will be worried if she would work abroad where salary is much way better than here.
Anyway, I feel much better now, the symptoms of acidosis went away by the way and I feel much better now because taking sodium bicarbonate really works and alleviated this achy elbow and other joints which as I discovered is caused also by my acidosis all these years 😫. But now I am expecting to feel better, maybe my muscle wasting might stop with more improvement on my bone health because the issue of acidosis is now being addressed thanks be to God, Really prayed for this and I got the solution.
These photos are shot using the Snapshot feature, it means that I can tap the button so fast and still it will not look blurry which is perfect if you are inside a moving car or shooting a fast moving object, person.
I appreciate your concern @wakeupkitty.pal @wakeupkitty,
Thank you very much from my heart😀👍🌹🌹🌹
It is good to hear you feel better now, and I really hope next time there will be no more issues and you gain weight or your muscles improve (which is gaining weight also) and more miracles will happen if it comes to your health.
I find it great how much you discover about your health and even better the ways how to fight them.
i wanted to ask you what time it is and if it isn't late with you but after looking at the clock it's the other way round. It's midnight with so time for a nap.
I wish you a great start of the day.
A happy Saturday, dear friend!
I woke up at around 4:00 AM today Saturday because I am attending online church which starts at 4:30 AM.
It's amazing that I discovered one factor that plagued me for more than two decades. I always wonder why my condition is like so until I stumbled upon it after a bad case of acidosis, now I am happy for the solution that will make my well-being better now.
Good night Miss @wakeupkitty 😀🌹🌹🌹
