due to waking with a major headache. It was like I was in a vise. Then nausea set in and I couldn't wake up to motivate. If I walked to the bathroom that pounded in my head.
I also made a call in regard to my referral because it has been two weeks. I had to call the primary group in order to get the ball rolling...no return call. I also need to make some other calls tomorrow. I need to find out about SSDI too.
Crazy times ahead.

Waiting for the referral to get my
vein mapping now. After that comes the ultrasound and then the surgery. My friend who has been on dialysis assures me that everything will be fine. I know this is my lifeline and I am okay with that...but....you still have to be somewhat leery. The first two months on dialysis is the scariest and touchiest.
I have noticed that I am getting harder to wake up and get moving. My naps are longer now. Nausea, headaches, itchy eyes, some itchy skin, confusion (I hate that part of it, considering I need my brain to work) and MUSCLE CRAMPS!!!
Those are the worse when in the middle of sleeping you stretch and WHAM instant PAIN in the calf!!
I tried massaging it back, bending it in a position to stop it and I have learned not to get up and walk on it! Crikey!! The first one I got up in the morning to go to the bathroom and omg...I sat back down real quick. Have you ever had a muscle cramp or side cramp? Times it by 5 and you may have an inkling of what I am dealing with. I have been reading on Ihatedialysis.com that to drink tonic water. I will be purchasing some of that tomorrow! I am just so freaking tired all the time. Mentally and physically. If it wasn't for the green tea I drink I would be a pile of blankets. The Asthma seems to be better now. I have a steroid inhaler that I use once a night and that is keeping me under control and able to sleep at night...minus the muscle cramps.
Had to give up my kitten due to the cat litter cleaning, his bonzaing all over my arms and lifting the cat box. Sad. I miss my little Chandler Bing kitty.
Met an old friend from Grand Junction on Facebook. He is now my oldest friend I have! Dorrie is my BEST friend and I have known her since I was 15. Jonny I have known since I was 13 (I think...lol). How old are you in the 9th grade?
I have taken 2 months off from college to get a handle on the dialysis so I do not fail in my first class working on my B.A.
Well catch ya'all on the flip!
