Saturday Musing

 I'm glad the gifted are happy with what they received from me or else I wont be giving any next Christmas, ha ha ha! Whatever. I hope everybody's sober over the Holidays until the New Year. Maybe just the same as you were stuffed of yummy foods, snacks and pastries.

Not enough? Somebody graceful had given us shortbread cookies as we enter the clinic. It's not over yet for her I must admit. I feel bad though 'cuz I haven't given her any present or gift for Christmas. Darn it. Sorry. 

Anyway, start of the year-ender dialysis which is becoming just normal but taking another pink tablet Benadryl meds administered by the good nurses can make me drowsy and sleepy. I tried to start reading a special book about ANGELS given by a friend so that I wont fall asleep but I did fell asleep anyway. It works wonder don't have to keep nurses coming back and forth to stop the warning beep of the dialysis machine. Beep or bleep as somebody keeps swearing the "F" word. LOL. That machine or whatever machine I was using is becoming notorious or just that maybe it needs a replacement. How old are the dialysis machines in that clinic? I don't know that's why I asked. 

However, Benadryl and Blood Pressure meds are "deadly combination." If my blood pressure went down to 81/40 you know... I'd like to sing DEADLY COMBINATION to the tune of Perfect Combination )))))) La la la la deadly combination))))))

I coughed, sneezed involuntarily, breathe long and hard the machine beeps or make noises. I laugh, talk or move my hand on the right side of the chair, raise my hand to change channel of the TV hanging from the ceiling the machine beeps. What should I do? Sit properly, don't move, control breathing. That's what some of the patients are doing for 4 hours. My God!! What the nurses will do? Stop the beep by pushing a designated button on monitor screen. Sometimes they have to reverse the line if its on straight line (catheter) or flush saline into the catheter. The nurses get stressed too you know. Their job looks simple and routine but with 12 patients for 4 hours in the morning and another batch of patients for another 4 hours they also get tired because each patient has their other diagnosis not just kidney problem but of cancer, diabetes, edema, leg injury, arthritis or depression and everyone has high blood pressure. 

The elders I am associated or acquainted with are grandmothers already. They are happily retired except that they spend their time 3x a week on dialysis, just like me have to be on dialysis or else. At first I was so scared about the consequences of having this dialysis, don't know much about this before and me having kidney failure that was overwhelming. I don't have diabetes or kidney problem because the true real problem is my blood pressure is higher than normal. I don't really feel about being dizzy if my BP is high. I get dizzy when my blood pressure is low. Doctors said that the kidney failure was caused by high blood pressure and anemia. Truth is I don't have that kidney failure until they gave me a blood transfusion and lots of IV solution.  I don't know if the blood they gave me has been inspected thoroughly or what. Darn, I have a very long memory. I could write a book thicker than Wilbur Smith's.

For whatever reason every time I post about my ailment, there's that advertisement on TV about Rx or medication about diabetes. lol. Wow! Why so many advertisements on pharma drugs now?

Would you believe that there is that "topic" that was deleted here. Don't know why. Don't tell me there are angels though the internet? Okay if you don't want me to write about it wont write it again.

You wont believe what true real angels looked like. It is not what you have in mind.
