Dear Diary: I Am Getting Ready To Head On For My 6:00 AM Dialysis Today

This morning at around 6:00 AM I will again get hooked for my dialysis, it is quite a good thing for my parents because we will get to come home earlier before 12:00 PM so my mother in the other hand will be able to prepare a simple food for our celebration which is none other than a stir-fried noodles.

I told my mother to put some tree ear mushroom which is a type of edible fungus that resembles a rat's ear. It is quite something for an ingredient because it is a bit crunchy and is said to thin out the blood. It is good for vegetable and other stir-fried dishes.

My mother also is planning to buy my nurses some food gift simply because it is my birthday but I think that the fast food joints will not be serving lunch before 10:00 AM so that will be a problem but we will just figure out what to do next. I just told her to get money from me because I don't want her to spend for me.

It would be so good if I had a good appetite after dialysis because I can't enjoy food after my session. So any foods that is brought to me is just a chore to eat. I only get to enjoy food while being dialyzed and after that all goes down the drain. So any food served after my dialysis day is uninteresting already for me and it just sucks that way.

Again I am thankful for this opportunity to receive my much needed dialysis and it will sure make me feel better because of the cleaning dialysis does to the body. I am hoping not to crash my blood pressure again because it always happens and I do not know how I can manage it as I have tried many options already.
