Well I have got a date to start home training.My last lot of blood work went down hill so i can't put it off any longer April 16th I have to be in Sydney to start dialysis. I knew the day would come , they wanted me to start early December so at least i got a few more months off.Wish me luck i think i am gonna need it.
Cheers Charee

I'm so sorry for some reason I missed this thread! Otherwise I would have wished you luck and sent good vibes for today (16th)
Tell us what happened? Did you just have a 2 hour session? that's what they do here.. start on 2 hours with no fluid off, then 3 hours, then go to 4 ot 5 or whatever they say your end run willbe.
I am sorry if it wasn't so good for you *hugs*
my first session was pretty bad.. I nearly fainted when I saw the nurse had botched up my needles and one of them was leaking blood all over the place (great for day 1!) while I was already crazy about the stuff that would happen but I didn't know.
The next time will be much better I am certain!!
-
Day 2 Over .well it went a little better didn't hit a nerve today still only on for 2 hours hopefully will increase on Friday. Pump speed still 150 that will increase also on Friday. Arm is very bruised but feeling ok. Looking forward to meeting Amanda sometime next week.
Cheers

Hi Cheree,
I want to come and see you....where are you and when is the best time. I went to my vascular surgeon again today and they have to re-do my graft as it is badly blocked but that won't be next week now because I want to buy a bit of time becuase my thyroid is playing up really badly so want to stablise before another operation.
If Amanda is not busy Saturday, why don't I take you both to lunch. My shout. Happy to come and pick you both up. Just let me know and I will come get you out of confinement for the day.
Let me know if you would like to catch up.....would love to meet you both. Tomorrow I am in our Victoria office and Friday I am in our Brisbane office so Saturday would be great.
Love, Cindy xxx :grouphug;
-
Charee i hope you are feeling a bit better by the weekend. :)
Lucinda and charee saturday is a bad day for me because i have dialysis and then i am off to a birthday party. I will be staying the night at a hotel, so if i have recovered well enough by sunday...... :wine; i can meet you both then.
