Little Update from the world of mine.
Dialysis goes OK. Don't like the part where they stick the needles on my arm. Glad that i have the lidocain cream to numb the area. It get's so boring in the chair when you're hooked up in the machine for almost 4 hours.. It's so cold in there, I usually have 2 blankets to keep ,e warm and the seat heater.
If I'm lucky, I can catch a little more sleeps in there while I'm in the machine, but if not, then i watch tv or listen my MP3 player. Been watching A LOT teen titans go (love Raven) and the amazing world of Gumball... they rarely show anything else in the cartoon networks at that time when i'm there. sometimes there's a few random episodes of we bare bears and the new show called total dramallama.. but i don't like that show at all... Sometimes I'll watch animal cops and too cute from animal channel.
Very rarely there;s a movie on channel 18 that's making the time fly faster.
I think I've gotten a slight tennis elbow from the chair because my elbow bone hurts on the side where my arms lays on the armrest..
My husband have been thre to pick me up every time after. And then we usually eat either McDonalds (big Mac or FishFillet) or Chinese. I love sushi and coconut chiken. I love how the avocado sometimes tastes like banana... xD Dunno why, but in some sushi it does.
Doctor visits have been calmed down a bit. no need to run in appointments every day or every week..
Been trying to get rid of my art block by drawing a bit now and then.
Most of my time at home goes by sleeping on the days when i have dialysis. it makes me tired as hell... Some days i feel fine after and I have energy to do things.
The other days I've been hanging with my laptop and Pixelmon. xD
Got small package sent in Finland to my family..
This year I don't know what to want.. i don't actually need anything, i guess. Just having my husband there and family with dinner.
My husband already done so much for me so... I'm good. Love ya Tiggy.
Cats are doing fine. Joey is an aswipe for a cat..He's on a time out almost every friggin day from attacking the others two.
Still love him even he drives me crazy at times.
*Smacking lips*
Think that's enough for a small update.
Take care Peeps!

As someone who has renal failure but isn't on dialysis yet, you have my condolences as to how boring dr's office can be. Its why I loaded my phone with movies and games that don't need internet...
Maybe just hope for another wonderful year with your husband? It's what I am doing, just hoping for another great year with my husband :3.
Thanks for the update, and so very sorry you have to go through this, I've not had to do this, but I often have to go get fluids flushed through me due to not being able to expel them properly. Hope you get better and better!!
Be safe.
I'm so very sorry you got such an awful "specialist" and they just rushed something that shouldn't have been rushed...
I just want to send all the support to you.
Also you got this, you're a tuff kitty!!
Because that's what they does to me. they pulls out extra liquids and cleans my blood.
Sorry to hear that , i know what you're going trough if it's the same as mine.
I need to get up every dialysis day at 6 am, put the cream cover it up with plastic wrap., eat and wait the transportation. Usually i take a painkiller with my breakfast. Got my treatment today and i was knocked out from 1 to 6. Home I have a plush blanket, coyzy recliner and Cat on my lap, It usually makes me sleepy when ever cats comes sitting on my lap. Maybe because it is so nice..
My phone isn't that powerful, SO i just watch movies on TV.
I have retinal diet. I can eat very little of potassium, calsium, preferably no phosphorus and no sodium. No dark soda's anymore. I might take a sip or two rarery. It's nit bad.
And I need to eat a lot protein.
And the flavor wise: Just add herbs in the food and you'll get it quite tasty without salt. I usually liketo use paprika powder, gar;ic. parsley...
You have any fave foods or any suggestions how to
We got this! *Fist Bump*
Good to know that you have a system figured out for it, and a proper diet with actual flavors, as good as salt tastes I think spices and herbs are better.
I believe in you and your husband, you two got this, and you can and will overcome this :3
But so far so good, It's just a pain that goes away in few hours...
