Dear Diary: Getting Ready Now For My Dialysis De Gallo

We will be departing before the sunshine breaks the dark. My parents got what they wanted which is a very early session for me so that we won't be getting to comeback home at night where my father would be having a hard time driving because of his age.

I am thankful that my parents are still quite energetic for their age because probably they are very careful about what they eat. They are just basically eating vegetables and fish in a bland kind of recipe.

Actually I am fed up with what my parents are cooking so it also affects my body so I am just supporting my diet with canned fruits and pineapple juice just to give some calories for my diet which I can never fulfill at all due to the limited type of foods that my parents can cook.

But eating really is just for me to survive, I can never enjoy it after my dialysis days because of my suppressed appetite. So I am still hoping soon that I am not required anymore to take my parathyroid medicine which causes my appetite to go down the drain.

But today I will again enjoy my meal and I hope that my blood pressure won't crash down again or get another blood infection which causes me to have a fever and chills just what happened the last time. It is always a mix of excitement and worry for me when dialysis day comes. I always needed prayers.
