Last night's session

[kitkatz]

I cried last night at dialysis.  No one knew or saw but I had a pity party, then went to sleep. My needles hurt like hell last night. I had Benadryl at 9:45 fell asleep and the needle pain had me up at 10;45. Oh hell and I had to go to work in the morning! So nursey came over and played with the needles and got them off what ever they were (on like a nerve maybe.).  I could not get back to sleep.  I asked for Tylenol and took two, then prayed to go back to sleep. This is when I cried.  I must have dozed off because next time it was 3 a.m and almost time to go home. I don't know if God listens to prayers from patients on dialysis machines in the middle of the night, but I sure got to sleep fast last night.

I don't know if God listens to prayers from patients on dialysis machines in the middle of the night,

Seems to me like we ought to be on a priority list!

  It hurts me to think about you in pain dear Kitkatz.

[thegrammalady]

  remember you are loved and the next session will go better.

[Sluff]

I'm glad you got some sleep last night.

[Sunny]

Sorry.
I hope the next night will go better.

[Wattle]

    We all need a hug now and again Kitkatz. 

[monrein]

So sorry KK.  It brought tears to my eyes to think of you crying yourself to sleep.  Hope your next session doesn't involve rogue nerves.  Crying either helps me sleep after or brings on a massive headache.

next time you want to cry, do the naked chicken dance it will make you feel better

   So sorry Kitkatz! I have cried at dialysis myself! The needles can be a big pain in the . I hope the next time you go you get a good rest!

[willieandwinnie]

Kitkatz. I'm so sorry and I pray your next session is better. 

[Razman]

Thanks for sharing Kitkatz.  Yes , God does listen to prayers at any time and tears are OK.  I hope the next session is better.   

[Rerun]

Kit I know sometimes the needles burn and sting and I don't know why.  Then other times (I hope most) I feel nothing at all.  I admire you sticking with your job.  I can come home and sleep until 9 or 10 if I want to.  I wish I could take your pain away and let you sleep because I have the whole next day to recoop. 

When your needles burn and sting for 3 hours that is bad enough but eight hours really SUCKS!

                                                   

[kidney4traci]

I agree with rerun, 3 hours with pain or a hard run sucks, but I can't imagine 8!!  Especially when you NEED to sleep!!  Pray future treatments are better.

[del]

  Hope the next treatment goes better Kitkatz.  Hubby sometimes has nights he can't sleep (rare now ) but he can have a nap through the day if he wants too.  I find I don't sleep as well when he is hooked up. I like it when he takes Monday and Thursday nights off because then I get 2 good nights sleep.

[kitkatz]

I sure make up for the lack of sleep during the week on the weekends. I sleep late, I mean LATE!  My family knows not to call me till after 11a.m. 6a.m. kills me on Thursday morning after dialysis Wednesday. I have to force myself up and at it. One Thursday I cursed the entire time I got dressed and walked out the door. My hubby laughed at me!

[MIbarra]

Pity parties are a necessity every once in a while. I had and still have my share. I just try to make them short and few and far between. I think we are allowed those moments.

[G-Ma]

Yes KK..we are allowed pity parties and God listens all the time.  I'm sorry you had such a bad time.  Take care of yourself.

[pelagia]

well that stinks.  sorry. 

[Mimi]

Kat, not only does God hear your prayers in the middle of the night while on dialysis, He also
allows you to shed some tears when you feel it is necessary.  Just do what is called for to keep you breathing.  I pray tomorrow will be better.

Love, Mimi

[kitkatz]

Friday night's session was a breeze compared to Wednesday. Needles were place okay. Just woke up a few times in the night.

[2_DallasCowboys]

Boy, KK,

Sorry to see you had such a bad nite.  It is tough enough
when you have trouble sleeping at home in your own bed-
(my husband does hemo three times a wk and has a lot
of trouble sleeping)  Can't imagine how bad it must be
doing nocturnal.
I sure hope you will have no more problems

I am going to get the graft looked at soon by Dr. T. It has been in awhile and working good, but looks like they are running out of space to stick me.  Maybe a resection or an add on or something needs to be done.  I have a few places wearing thin where they cannot stick me and other places that have nerve endings that scream during treatment.

[kitkatz]

Ever since they put the stents in, the bottom needle has been a pain the the butt to stick. One tech can get it but it takes effort for her too. I just have to be patient and I remind her I am not a human pin cushion!
