“Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.” Victor Hugo

I found this quote and love the image of God being awake while we sleep, watching over us.

Yesterday was a hard day. I was supposed to start using needles for dialysis but I need the same nurse to do it for the first 6 times so that they make sure that they use the same holes. The nurse also needs to be experienced in button holing. This means that a nurse has to be asked to come in on their off duty days to button hole me. The nurse they have chosen to do this hasn't been asked yet and was off yesterday - ho hum!!!! Then they discovered that they had forgotten to do a blood test so the dialysis had to be stopped and then restarted. And lastly they decided that as my weight had increased a bit I must have more fluid so they took off more than usual despite me saying it is because I am eating better. So towards the end of dialysis my BP dropped and i felt very poorly and was very sick - very yucky. Luckily they then give you fluid back and you quickly feel better but it is very scary when it happens as you feel like you are disappearing.

It was good to go to coffee at school although lots of people were busy.

Today - radiotherapy and maybe bible study if I am not too late. And Chloe and Josh home this evening - yippee!
