Thanks everyone!
I started the dialysis on Tue after some comfussion with the hosiptal not being able to get me in monday. It was a 2 hour treatment for the first time to see how things would be. All went well!!
But there always seems to be a but! When it was time to go home the nurse was no were to be found?? I had called friend Kenny to say I was needing a ride early as I thought it was going to be a 4 hour thing. I could see Kenny parked at the door from my room. Nurse shows up and I say were you been? I need to get going. She said that it does not work that way, and walked out! I walked out to her and stated my ride was there and I was leaving, she said who said you could go home? I said my doctor, she said well there is no orders here? I said you have 5 min to find some then I am gone!! She comes to room fast with head nurse and say there are no orders and i have to wait for the doc to call, before i could leave. i said see that truck by the door? she said yes i said thats my ride I see you later and started to walk out. the head nurse said wait sign here you are leaving with out doc order, i signed and was gone!
Went to the dialysis center yesterday for my 2nd treatment, again just 2 hours as i went the day before to the hosiptal. but they never got the word i was coming, oops guess walking out messed that up! LOL
They called the doc and in 30 min i was hooked up for my treatment. it also went very well but getting hooked up was a lot more painfull, they sain at the center they use a bigger needle thats why, but the more they use the arm the easier it will get. I said amazing what we get use to!!
Felt good after and drove myself there and home. but when i got home sat in my chair i passed out in 2 min flat! my wife was a little worried cause she bareky said hi and i was gone!But fter a 3 hour nap I was awake and hungry as a bare!!
Sp its begun I will be there every Mon, Wed, Fri 11am to 3pm for now on.
