Dear Diary: I Am Now A Bit Breathless Because Of Extra Fluids In My Body

I will not be eating a regular meal prior to my dialysis because I am already overloaded with fluids in my body. I am already waterlogged after my last dialysis and as days go by I would add more water in my body via eating and drinking.

I could not scrimp and save in my fluid intake because the thirst cannot be easily ignored as it has to be quenched in one way or the other and also the bitter taste in my mouth which is caused by my parathyroid medicine after-effects gives me a reason to drink fluids.

After dialysis this will all get a relief but my dialysis will be later this night so it is a long wait. I could not sleep it off because it is daytime already in my place, I am not sleepy, and my neighbor is noisy.

Now I am just sad that I will be giving my parents a hard time because of my dreaded dialysis schedule but it is one of the things in my life that is beyond my control. I am always praying that all these problems would end because in most parts of my life I am not enjoying it.
