So very glad you are home Kit. At least now you have your own bed to sleep in and family around to annoy you. What is your next step for dialysis, back to the same clinic?

I did dialysis this morning. I survived it.  We got to the car and I was in tears. I cried through part of breakfast. Then I went to get a hair wash and cut.  After 13 days of not really washing my hair it was ridiculous. It could have walked off my head.  Anyway the hair is short short short!  I need more Tylenol right now.

Having a tunnel catheter put into your chest is like having a nail gun blow nails directly into your chest!  I cried through the entire procedure. I am pretty sure the doc thinks I am a wimp, but it hurt like hell!

Good gracious Kit why didn't you make them stop and give you some
pain med.  It doesn't matter if the Dr. thinks you are a wimp or not.  If
it hurts, it hurts.   Drs who do that to people should have their a----
kicked.  Glad you are home and I pray things rapidly get better.
