Just Keep Swimming, Swimming, Swimming

Hi! I noticed it has been a while since I have written anything. I have been in survival mode it seems like. I started on D on May 14 and have been going strong ever since. I am on Hemo dialysis at a center in Grapevine. It is very close to work, but not close to home. I go on Mon, Wed and Friday's (I leave work at 3:30) and stay till 8pm usually. It has been a learning experience and I have been watching intently what they do to me. It is pretty wild actually! I have graduated up to the medium sized needles and am supposed to go up even one more to the large ones. I am scared about that. They say it is to get better clearance.

When I started all the stuff, my toxin level in my body was 116 (should be 0). Now I am running about 48. Hopefully the longer I am on D, the cleaner my blood will be and I will feel better and have even more energy back! I do already have some back, but I am not 100% for sure.

I see some very sick and old people there at the center. I try and smile and be happy around them. They look like they need a little hope or sunshine in their lives. It is sad. I wish I could sit and talk with each of them and find out their story.

One man in particular is in a wheel chair when I walk in the door to go in to where I get D done. He always has on a fedora and dressed as nice as he can. He has fake legs and has his nice shoes on them. He can walk, VERY SLOW, so he sits in a wheel chair. I love seeing him and smiling to him. He seems so nice.

Well, I hope you all are well. I am ready for whatever path God has me on.

Love, Tracy :)
