January 12th

Hello everyone! I just had minor surgery yesterday to fix the tube (for peritoneal dialysis (pd)) so it would be down and easier to drain fluids out as it did not drain 400 kg fluid last 2 sessions and pd was on hold and I was still on hemodialysis. Now the surgery is done and i'm doing great - just lil pain but not too bad but am resting and online at the moment. Thanks everyone for your prayers. So soon I will be going back to pd training and finish the last class and graduate then be able to do dialysis at home on my own time and be active in groups. I had my first surgery on Nov 1st then went through pd training for a month and half then found out fluids wasn't draining so had to have another surgery to fix the tube to go down. So next goal is graduate from pd training and finally do it at home. Oh I cannot wait! Just got tired of going to hemodialysis clinic. Rather do it at home. Ok Hope ya all had a good New Years - I sure did and spent it with hubby. Went to Olive Garden for dinner and had yummies and mudslides later that night. Wow the 2 weeks has gone by so fast. I can't wait for Valentines day cuz my son will be 24 on Valentines day - yep he's my miracle baby cuz he was born 2 months early and I was diabetic that time. Plus I celebrated 14 years of being diabetic free - I had a kidney/pancreas transplant on 1/1/99 but transplanted pancreas is still awesome and still diabetic free but unfortunately last 5 years - the transplanted kidney has been failing (which is common in transplant patients) so I've been back on dialysis for 2 years upcoming Feb 1st. I'm taking a break from groups that I belong for a week to recuperate. still lil sore in stomach area on left side and have hard time getting out of bed but i'm sure it'll get better within 2 days. glad i got the weekend to rest up.

December Tags I've made

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year in 2013. Sorry for not updating my blog, I had catheter surgery on Nov 1st for peritoneal dialysis then I had PD training for a month and 2 weeks plus going to hemodialysis 3 days a week and I was sooo exhausted. My father in law came in town from Alaska for a week before Thanksgiving and we were busy visiting him and his side of the family. Sure was nice to see him since last time we saw him was 10 years ago at one of the brother's wedding in Washington.

Right now PD is on hold til further notice because I wasn't draining out fully on last 2 times (thurs and tuesday) and I was really disappointed cuz I was about done with PD training and was gonna take finals but now they tell me there's 400 kg left to undrain. I had previously went to get xray to get KUB to see what the tube inside look like and whats causing it not to drain. apparently the tip tube inside is sideways instead of downward. If it was down then I would be able to drain better.  Ohh I was very disappointed cuz i wanted to graduate PD training and start dialysis at home. Now I have an appt with surgeon on December 27th, I have a feeling he will have to do another surgery and replace the tube and let it heal another 2 weeks. So while I have that I will still go hemodialysis.  So we'll wait and find out on 27th. I just hope he can just push the tube downward rather than do it all over again.

Ok I'm hoping within next 2 weeks I will finish my blog, just finished trying to make my blinkie for the first time. Couldn't find a tut how to make blinkies so I went my own way.  Ok next is how to put header up, etc..  I'll eventually get there.

Love
