Hello dear friends,
It has been a long while since I last wrote any thing.One of the reasons why I haven't wrote anything is because the 3rd week of last month,I was rushed to St.Peters hospital in the Olympia-Lacey,Wash area.The hospital here in Centralia,Wash does not have a floor for kidney patients.I spent few days in the hospital.I recieved anemia shots every other day.I was becoming homesick.I was missing my epts.Along with missing my boyfriend Thomas & family members & friends.My boyfriend Thomas ,younger brother Bob & sis in law Linda came to visit me as often as they could.2 weeks ago from Saturday,I was able to come home.I'm now getting anemia shots at my dialysis 3 times a week.It feel GOOD to be BACK at my dialysis center.The staff & my friends were HAPPY :clap; :clap; to see me come back.It feels GOOD to be back.
How is everyone doing?It has taken be awhile to get caught up on misthings around here.I've started to enjoy my life once more, LOve & HUgs,
Sandi

Treatment for your anemia PLUS being back with friends and family make all the difference in the world in how you feel.  I am so glad you are back where you belong!! :2thumbsup;

Glad to hear that you are feeling better and that your anemia is getting under control!  I'vve been anemic most of my adult life...nothing like what I have now though...but my last labs showed my hemoglobin finally over 11...it was 7.3 not too long ago!

Smiles,

Ricki

Hi Sandi, and so glad your back with the 'fam'  It always makes me happy to hear of happy incenter people.  We loved ours, and felt we lost family when comming home to do nxStage.  We miss the friends terrably, but for Bo, well this is best for him so thats what we do.  Glad your back on track, and now stay there  :grouphug;

Anemia is no fun.  It's a big improvement to get over that bump in the road.
