My Mom's dialysis center

[Shirleys daughter]

I want to compliment my mom's dialysis center.  She has only been in dialysis since June and started at the center on July 4, 2006, which is a sucky day to be new at the dialysis center, because we didn't know what the hell was going on or what we were supposed to do, but they were so great and relieved our fears.
My mom has gotten sick several times at dialysis and they are always so patient, caring and comforting to her, and i am so grateful for that!
I only have one compliant about one person, who really needs an attitude adjustment and will one day send me over the edge enough to let her have it, but for now I am just taking notes!
Thanks to the Kidney Center!

I would be questioning why she is getting sick so much.  Are they letting her BP drop?  If it is because her BP gets too low then someone needs to monitor her more closely.

Anyway, I'm glad you are happy where your Mother is at.

Yes!  Her BP is dropping!  Why is that?  What should be done about that?
My mom mentioned somthing about them taking the water off too fast?  Could that be true?
My mom doesn't question anything!  So I am her patient advocate! 
Thanks

Its either them taking fluid off too fast, OR , could be they are just taking too much off. They call that "challenging dry weight", I call it misery.
