Thanks!  I don't really feel fearless, I just knew that I couldn't take any more trips to the dialysis center.  Even though it's literally 5 minutes away from my house, it was just sucking the life out of me in many different ways.  I know that I never had labs that good in the center. 

To continue the saga from Friday night, yesterday I stuck myself perfectly and my treatment completed without a hitch.  I had to take off 2 kilos because I hadn't dialyzed since Tuesday, but even with that, I didn't feel bad at all after treatment and went out to dinner afterwards. 

I am so excited to get my catheter out on Monday - that Tuesday morning shower will be heavenly!!!!!    :yahoo;

Good for you!  I look forward to taking a full shower near the first of the year.  It's never fun getting poked, but it's more than worth it to get rid of this chest catheter.   Next summer I hope to be able to hit the surf again.

Congrats to both.  I'm looking forward to getting my cath out too.  It's certainly a big motivation for pushing through the needling. 
Thanks again.
