I Wasn't Able To Complete My Dialysis Today
Today to my dismay, sadness, and frustration I am not able to complete my dialysis because the nurse told me that she read my blood pressure to be 60 over whatever diastolic she says. It just baffles me about my low blood pressure because I wasn't even feeling the tell-tale signs of it and because of that about 30 minutes before the appointed end of treatment time she terminated my session not even waiting the go ahead by the head nurse.
Well of course it just infuriated me having not be able to complete my dialysis because my blood cleaning is very important for me like any other dialysis patient.
At least I am able to have three and a half hours of dialysis which should be really four hours per session. It is a good thing that I added 100 mL of fluids that I usually target, so maybe next session I will have to add more so that I can be able to target near the weight that I want and not go home heavier than what I want to target as they anyway reduce the amount everytime my BP reads low.
I do not know if I would take more caffeine on the next time of my dialysis because I just wanted my BP to get high during my session now that the nurse that was taking my BP reading was different than in my previous schedule because this one just take BP every single hour while the other one will take a reading twice per session with the last reading after the treatment ends.
I really do not like not completing my dialysis because I needed a good better quality clean to my blood. It is because I am taking medicines that who knows what it does with its metabolites to my system especially now that I am taking two major drug, one is for my Parathyroid and the other is for my Tuberculosis.
It is just good now that I am able to get taken out with adequate fluids unlike before where I was going home still breathless because I am still full of water. But not being able to complete the dialysis is a different matter because I really wanted as much as cleaning time that I can get since I am just going for my dialysis twice a week.
I still thank God about this grace because at least I am cleaned-out with my blood and also I can breathe better these past few months because during my first dialysis years we are always problematic about where I would get the money to pay for my next session. I am just looking at the bright side of my situation so that I will not get upset much.
This is just my life full of being upset, disappointment, worry, fear, etc. All because of the kind of life that I am living with which I am trying with the blessings of God get improved if that will be my fate in the future.
