All Is Calm - Day +4 - 5/10/22

Day +3 went by without a whole lot happening. The excitement of the day was the 6:07AM wake up call to go to dialysis. When out of the hospital the trip to the Dialysis Center is no big deal. I’m there with 12 other people we lay there for 4 hours and go home. You have a schedule and can plan things. Not so much at the hospital. It’s their schedule and you must go with the flow. I think I have gotten close to a world record on pills. I ended up taking 31 pills yesterday, it’s like every day I am here they add more pills to the regimen.

Day +4 Today has been slow. This place is so quiet. It is in sharp contrast to when I was in a different hospital a couple weeks ago and we had patients screaming out “Help” among other things all during the day.

Because I know what’s coming in the next several days, I almost want it to get here and get it over with. Its like a tsunami is on the horizon and you have nowhere to go.  When I did this the first time the days in the middle were so bad, I struggled with just about everything. Julia even did a yeoman’s job of doing my blog for me. We’ll see what happens this time.
