Title: Arrrrrgh!

Five and a half hours on the machine today (HD). Had to do extra because the nurse screwed up. Not a happy bunny.

I wouldn't be happy bunny either.  I couldn't even tolerate 4.5 hours back in the day when I did hemo.  God, I hated it!

I hated it to, but have learned to tolerate doing 3.5 hours at home 5x/week.   I use the laptop check on emails; follow up on a forum or two; then watch a few youtubes followed by Netflix or Hulu.    My problem tonight is I have only one episode of Longmire left, and I am caught up on Better Call Saul, so I have to find a new show.

I've not used it and don't know how many contributors he has.  I've just read about the development on his twitter feed.

Simon Dog, let me know what you find!  I love Longmire and need to watch the new season out on Netflix.  Better Call Saul is a favorite, too.  I really liked Stranger Things, so if you like sci fi it might be worth a try!

Watching season 2 of Shut Eye.  Think Gypsy version of Soprano.  Chance is also pretty good.

As to Arrgh!!!!! - Talk like a pirate day is not until September.

I finished 'The Fall' on Netflix- was creepy good psycho thriller with Gillian Anderson. Was a little slow at times. Planning to start season 2 of The Crown.

I like season 1 of The Crown, but thought it was a little slow in places.  Let me know how season 2 is!

Four and half hours is nothing.  I do ten and half hours every day, plus.  The new PD machine takes even longer!   :Kit n Stik;

I do 4.5 hour treatments and it’s 4.5 hours with harpoon sized needles in one arm, sitting one a vinyl covered recliner with minimum padding.  The needles are in my left arm so I have restricted movement, all and all a long unpleasant time.  PD has its own challenges but being stuck with huge needles and restricted to a chair is not among them.  An additional hour added to a hellish treatment is a eternity.
