We're hear to listen to those moments, woodsman!  I've always found it far better to rant on here where everyone understands, especially compared to doing it at close family and friends who often can't handle the discussion.

I spent most of the early hours of the morning sitting on the side of the bed, crying, which is a common occurrence.  My husband just kept sleeping, waking up long enough to ask me if I wanted a sandwich ( ???), and then fell back to sleep.  If you can't fall apart on IHD, I can't imagine how the pressure would just build and build.

You're making me nervous; I'll be watching this thread in the hope that you will have some good news to share.

Oh, I've been meaning to ask you...other than your painful arm, how are you feeling?  Is dialysis making a difference in how you feel overall?  How do you feel after a treatment?

Well everything went perfect today. 2 sticks and it was over no alarms and i was a happy camper!!!!. MM i do feel 100% better and have since my 3rd dialysis session. After the treatment i feel okay maybe a bit drawn but they are not removing and fluids either because i still Pee so i don't know if that has anything to do with how it makes you feel. I do have tons more energy but work kind of puts a damper on it with less than enough sleep during the week.... Overall yep i feel better........  If sat goes this well then i'm having some wine afterwards to celebrate!!!!!   :cheer:

This is truly the best news I have had in several days!  What an incredible relief!  I really hope this continues for a long while.  And I'm particularly glad to hear about how much better you feel; that's just superb!  I want to hear all about your wine party come Saturday.

Sorry you were worn down there for a bit, Woodsman, but so happy your last session went well. I look forward to seeing this thread and always hope for the best because you are one of the first that I've seen go from pre-dialysis with no previous experience.  You've had such a great attitude and have taken time to educate yourself. It's like I imagine it may very well go for me if/and when the day comes.  Keep going strong, Woodsman.

Yeah, sat crew for anything is usually not the best.

Seven sticks...that's gruesome.  Jeez, I'm really sorry you've had these problems.  You never know what kind of a day you're going to have, do you?  The dread must be palpable. :cuddle;

Colonoscopy followed by dialysis?  You don't do things the easy way, do you?

Today was an easy one, no issues 2 stick on and then off 3.25 hrs.... I won't say it was a joy but it was close.

MM the colon thing was needed for the transplant list, best 3hrs of sleep i've had in years......

It's the anesthesia that accompanies these sorts of procedures that really get to me.  I just get soooo sick.

Glad you had a sucessful day at D with only 2 sticks.  That's pretty much a record for you!  Congrats!

"No issue" days are good.  Do the needles hurt just when they are going in, or do they hurt for a long time once they are in and taped down?  Are those the biggest needles they will be using on you, or do they just get bigger?

Do you use any sort of numbing agent?  They just seem like more trouble than they are worth.  Have you ever given serious thought to learning to self-cannulate?
