Diaylsis and Me

Hello,

Well, I have been going to Dialysis now for about 2 weeks. They are still pulling water off of me and trying to find my "Dry Weight". It is leaving me pretty dehydrated, but I am surviving. I am praying for a kidney/pancreas SOON. That would be a blessing. It is different settling into this type of routine. I don't see Keith and Katie much as I don't get home on Mon, Wed, and Fri till 9:15 or so and am so tired, that I just collapse in bed. It is not much for family time, but I do feel better mostly. They are trying to watch my blood pressure and now I feel dehydrated, so we may need to look at that. They said I am doing good as far as only gaining one kilogram per day. They said that is the best so it won't be so hard on my body when I do D.

On a happier note, Keith and I bought a horse. It is a 14 year old male and he is copper in color. He is an experience Field Trial Horse,which is what Keith was wanting.

Katie is doing good. She is looking for a summer job and has interviewed with a Doggie Day care. So that would be neat for her. She should find out tomorrow is she gets it or not.

I hope everyone is blessed and highly favored that reads this.

Love, Tracy :)

Big D

Hello,

I am writing to tell you what has been going on in my life. I have begun Dialysis (Big D). I went to see my kidney doc last week for a check up and he told me it was time. So, he admitted me in the hospital on Friday and I stayed there till Tuesday. They started me on dialysis, I had 3 treatments while in there. I had my first in center treatment on Wed., with my second one being today. It wasn't bad in the hospital, but was nightmarish on Wed. I hope today is better. My blood pressure is extremely low now, so I have to watch it closely. I have quit taking my bp meds and water pills, to make sure it doesn't pull it down further. It was 87/53 today. Kinda crazy. I do feel better though. The toxins were pretty bad in my body. Should have been 0 and mine were up to 116. Last I heard, they were down to 49, so I am getting better.

I just wanted to keep you all updated!

Thanks for reading along. Love, Tracy :)
