Go for it. I got a bed finally on Monday. Cripes did I sleep good.   Bring a big pillow to rest your back or arm on. It helps

well, it's 10am and i've only been up for 15 minutes. all in all not bad, considering i only intended to "rest" when i got home and be up by 9. i slept at the center about 4 hours and since i'm up till midnight most nights anyway is pretty good. they do have a bed, but it's completely flat and i don't sleep lying down any way. they have a very nice insert for the chairs which makes things much softer. they turn the lights out at 9pm, which means i'll need a reading light, that i can handle. everyone was fairly quiet, nothing to complain about there. if there was anything wrong, the room, if you can believe it. was too warm. i know, go figure. the machines didn't beep as often as during the day and then they weren't ignored and even the blood pressure cuff didn't bother me. maybe if was just beginners luck, we'll have to wait and see. i think i'm gonna love it!

2nd night, which was good, but i didn't sleep as much and i stayed up awhile when i came home. therefore when i did nap i slept a little longer than i would have liked. i gained .6 between thursday morning and friday night. but i think i've lost a bit of weight, so i don't know how accurate that is. i left 1.8 down from when i went in. the proof i guess will be in the labs. last labs, 3 weeks ago, before leaving for oregon, were good. but i would like to see better. i'm supposed to "meet" monthly (during the day) with the sw and the dietitian, but there's going to be a discussion on that one. i never met with them when i did days and i don't see any reason to start. if i have a question i can pick up the phone. if they have something to be signed they can leave it with the nurse. the only person i have to meet with is the doctor and his office is closer than the clinic. i'm sure he and i can work something out.

The dietitian and social worker come in once a week to our clinic. Isn't funny how different clinics do different things?

both our sw and dietitian have offices at the clinic. they are always there (except the sw who goes to another clinic on friday's) we still don't meet. the dietitian drops off her lab report and goes on her way. if i'm sleeping i don't even know she's been there till i wake up and see the report. which i've already seen anyway, i get the same report the doctor gets as soon as it's in the computer. the social worker might smile and say hi in passing, but that's not meeting either. basically i never talk to them unless i have a question, and that's the way i want to keep it. if i need something on a tuesday/thursday i pick up the phone, i don't wait to "see" them at clinic. the nicest part of nocturnal is no one is there to bug me!

If they have nocturnal here and I have to go back on, that's what I want. I never did like the dietician and the stupid smiley face blood count report and the sw. The less people bugging me, the better. Hopefully though dialysis would make me sleep instead of the insomnia I have now.

our dietician is actually pretty nice, i just don't see any reason to meet with her. i get my labs the session after they are drawn. they're important, to important to wait two weeks while she runs a computer program that gives her everyones results. and a watered down version at that. they actually test about 3 times the number of things than they give you the results for.
