Dialysis
Things have evened out a bit with dialysis. I don't feel as weird during treatment. Every time I go, I'm reminded that I'm not a patient person and that I hate sitting still. I get antsy in the chair and occasionally, when my batteries die on my computer or the TV goes dead (each chair has a hospital TV on an arm), I want to get up and move around way before the treatment is over.
My blood pressure is still uncontrolled. It's way above where it should be on a daily basis, but during treatment it spikes upwards. Usually treatment lowers blood pressure. Once again I'm having an unusual reaction. My guess is that my electrolytes are getting out of whack and I'll discuss it with my new nephrologist when I see her next.
