question on a skip dialysis day

[babycake]

i have appt with ohsu in portland on the 11th and 12 of may
so i wont be diallizing on that wed
 the center gave me a choice if i wanted to dialzie back to back(meaning monday and tues)
well that was my choice so im not going to do tues
so my plan was just go 2 days instead of 3
im wondering would that be a problem and have any idea of what ohsu would say

and besides that i have appt on tues to see the surgeon that did my anigiogram(this is a 2nd follow up)
so you feel that i should be ok for i have skip a day before and i had no problem

i think this ones pretty individual... hubby can skip and feel just fine (i dont know that he 'IS' fine, but he 'feels' fine anyway) where others get really sick if they skip.  Hubby still pees lots, and some dont.  It'll be interesting what ya get here.  And, i think the occasional is probably ok for anyone???

yea for i felt fine before
and yes i still use the restroom frequent
skiping a treatment first time in 5yrs thats nothing
and ohsu shouldnt complain on what i want or not

i cant dialize at ohsu
for my insurance wont cover for it
for the last time i went i was there  4-5yrs ago for my testing and the class
and they were going to set me up then but it wouldnt work
so its not possible this time around either

Your Social Worker in your unit should get this approved by your insurance. I have had the same problem with ins and it is doable. You are harming yourself longterm with skipping.

I've had to skip once do to a problem with something in the center and felt find but do not make a habit of this. As far as your appointments go try to either schedule them on a non dialysis day or before or after dialysis if you have to do them on the same day.

as i mention it was a long day
i didnt get out of ohsu on wed untill 5pm
and my first appt was the class at 9am
i had to be there for lap work today thrusday at 7:30am
they took 15tubes of blood thought that was crazy

i would had been home in the afternoon but my sister and i love going to the goodwill bins(its where you can by stuff by the pound)
you can actually find some good stuff (antiques and very well known collectable items)

My schedule is 5 days a week. I pick and choose the says I don't dialyze because I also work part time. I can skip several days and I have no problems at all as long as I watch my fluids. I think the fact that I still urinate several times a day and I also work a physically intense job (FedEx) helps me keep healthy. Eating right might help too.
