Hello

Hi,
I wanted to let you know that I am doing good. They (the dialysis center) tried the largest needles on me last week. It hurt so bad, I cried so hard and didn't quit for a long time. It was very traumatic. After the treatment was almost done, the technician came over to me and said that the nurse said we won't be using those large needles on me anymore. Those needles are used an 300 lb people and they don't need to use those on me and that I was ok using the medium needles. I was very happy to hear that. It took me a whole day to recover from that experience. It was awful.

For some reason I had gained almost 7 lbs in two days, so Wed they had to pull all that weight off of me. They actually took me too low and my feet cramped while I was on D. Then they cramped last night while I was trying to sleep. Trying was definitely the operative word there. I was so "dehydrated" feeling this morning when I woke up, I couldn't go into work right away. All of this is a learning curve for me for sure. Each treatment is so different.

Keith is building a fence on some land we are leasing for our horse Red. We bought a Tennessee Walker horse and like his name says, he is red. He is beautiful! We found 2 1/2 acres to lease about a 1/2 mile from our house. That is so great! The man that owns it said we could put a fence up and do anything we wanted, so Keith has been hard at work on that. We want to bring Red closer to us so we can take care of him and ride him when we want. He is very gentle and lets me hug on him all the time. He doesn't pull his head away or anything. He is very laid back. I haven't gotten to ride him yet, but hopefully soon!

I hope all of you are well! Take care!

Love, Tracy :)
