What a week I have had - nothing has seemed to be straightforward. Yesterday we arrived at dialysis and the water infection had been sorted out. Great we thought, everything should be fine now - mmmmmmmmmmmm. Someone had a different plan! The bottom needle went in painfully but it looks like the vein is closing down - the pressure wasn't enough for the dialysis. So we used a line and a needle. All fine until the machine decided it didn't want to do dialysis! Everything stopped and the machine had to be relined and I lost about 100 - 200mls of blood that was trapped in the tubing - ho hum. Machine restarted and off we went again. Josh and I had a good time discussing what events we would like to go and see at the Olympics. Josh has made a very good chart so we just need to apply for the tickets when bookings open. I am very excited about going next year. I took ages to stop bleeding at the end of dialysis - i thought we might be there for ever!
Today I am tired so going to have a go slow day. Josh has just left for a 22 mile run - it makes me tired to just think about it. If you haven't sponsored him but would like to the details are here. He is running the marathon for cancer research on 11th April. Thank You
