I Miscalculated Something Today

I gloriously finished my dialysis although I haven't completed its termination time. It is okay because it is a kind of dialysis that I could say as a quality clean for my blood. I rather have an incomplete dialysis session where I am adequately cleaned than to have a five-hours session and after that I would be thirsty and not really feeling better afterwards. Dialysis patients can judge a better blood cleaning by comparing what they feel after treatment although some have no clue in what really to expect ad just are dependent in the judgement of the renal nurses.

So I just lost about 25 minutes of clean time today because I miscalculated the fluids in which my renal nurses have to take off from my body. I thought that I am heavy after arriving to my dialysis center so I just gave them about half a kilo or so in excess of what I wanted them to take off from my body with regards to fluids in my body.

So after two and a half hours after being hooked-up I am already feeling the signs of a hypotension which is cold sweats and a bit of pain in my neck. Of course I did tried to endure it once again but I could only endure much because my vision once again had started to dim already. At that point it is just time to give-up lest I will conk my heart out of commission if not shitting my pants literally or maybe also die, better if the latter though.

All the while I think my Caffeine pills did its job in making me last my session even though it is not completed. It is better than in some instances of an unknown reason that my BP would fall even before I get to the second hour of my dialysis session because I know that those Caffeine pills are still needed just to support my blood pressure from crashing like a meteor although I regret in taking them. But I have to consider a desperate measure otherwise I will not get an adequate cleaning and adequate fluid removal which is crucial for me to have a better well-being than not considering that option at all.

But still I am happy because I was nicely cleaned-up again in my own terms. I am also happy that I am not thirsty unlike in the other days where fiddling on the sodium settings irritates me because it makes me thirsty making my fluid control a hard thing to do. Now I also went home much lighter than in previous sessions so I with that I will not get full with fluids that easily anymore.
