So good day bad day!!! Dialysis was interesting. I arrived early so that I could start learning how to line the machine. Hum!! It my take me a while to get my chemo brain around that. Bit scary to think what could happen if i got it wrong! Water all over the floor is one thing but blood - oh no! Then I had a go at needling - it is a bit tricky with only one hand. I was quite relieved when I couldn't do it to find that it was tricky for the nurses - it took 4 nurses to get the 2 needles in! Determined that I will do it soon though. Dialysis was ok until towards the end when my BP dropped to almost non-existent and I felt very poorly. I could hear people talking but couldn't respond - if it had not been stopped I would have been unconscious. I then felt yucky all evening. Poor Paul he then has to put up with a moaning me.
Yesterdays highlight however was sitting in a garden centre with a friend drinking coffee in glorious sunshine - wonderful.
Feeling much better today - looking forward to coffee with A.
