I started this blog to keep folk up to date on my husband's melanoma treatments. I have kept up daily blogs for almost 15 years...sometimes health related...sometimes just daily routine. My husband was in remission with his Melanoma but new melanoma diagnosis 3/2021 so started back on Keytruda. 8/2020 began home Peritoneal Dialysis. 7/2022 began training for home hemodialysis…never a dull moment! Come join us in our daily routine...sometimes humdrum...sometimes sit on the edge of your seat!

Tuesday
Another day...another dollar...or perhaps lack of said dollar! Today we have done a lot of the same ol' same ol'...dialysis disconnecting and connecting...filling and draining...washing and sanitizing hands...masking and unmasking...setting up and taking down...patience and sometimes not so much patience...sitting and waiting...those words pretty much describe our days and nights...especially Woody's! We are waiting now for the dialysis solution to warm so then we can grt Woody connected for the next ten plus hours so we can disconnect...drain...and sit and wait for the next treatment. We are definitely in a cycle ising a dialysis cycling machine! I did leave the "hamster wheel" for a while today and went to work with Donna in the church library. We, today, worked on long overdue books...in other words, giving up on ever getting them back so spent the time making sure they weren't on the shelves and then deleting them...one way weeding happens in a library, We deleted quite a few and added one new one. But our shelves Re in need of weeding as they are getting overly full once again. One of those duties that makes me sort of sad as some we need to get rid of are old friends...but sometimes it is time to make some new friends! Well, it is time to get the next dialysis treatment going so it will end at a reasonable time in the morning, Woody has learned that he can't eat breakfast until that last fill is drained. We are now doing that drain two hours after the last fill ends. Then the drain takes from 30 minutes to an hour. Most mornings he doesn't get breakfa#t till ten am. Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
