Title: Our Experience
Post by: Jenny on May 22, 2007, 06:30:22 PM

Today, at the dialysis center in Rochester, MN for our very first time after they did the surgery on the next. We had lunch after adjel had it done on his neck in the cafeteria at the hospital. I did some walking through the skyways while this was being done, then I came back and he wasn't out yet, so I started reading a library book, that I had checked out of the library a few days ago called Radio Activity by Bill Fitzhugh. I also checked out a book called Dialysis  An Unanticipated Journey by David L. Axtmann. Today, adjel only did two hours. It is going to be upped to four hours next time. It is a nice, quiet and calm place. They also have cable television. I thought that it was a good experience. Thanks for the support. :bandance;

I'm glad you and him had a good experience. My first day of dialysis in my former centre ended with me being rushed to the ER with dangerously high blood pressure. I hope you both have many more good experiences in that centre. Take care.

Nice to know it is calm for you the first time you went in.

Glad you had a good first time experience. Things aren't always what they seem to be though. Good Luck.

Be informative is very important.
