Small Change In Plans
I went in to the hospital Saturday night because my blood pressure was out of control and got out this morning. I was really worried the surgeon would cancel the transplant surgery because of my high blood pressure, so I asked my nephrologist if I could dialyze every day this week. That should lower my blood pressure and get me ready for next week. So...5 more dialysis sessions to go.
I had a pretty good dialysis session today, there was very little pain. On the drive home I was contemplating getting the word "Remember" tattooed on my lower left arm near where I get stuck for dialysis, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to remember how sucky dialysis is without the tattoo. Then I thought it should read "Never Forget", but that sounded too "Real Genius-y".
