So hopefully I'll be going home tomorrow or Tuesday. Then I start dialysis in Quincy on Wednesday. I'm nervous. Of course this is provided everything is ready. My doctor is trying to get me this special stuff that they can put in through the dialysis machine that will give me extra nutrition. Which would be AWESOME, because this bi-passes the nausea issues, and maybe I can finally put some weight on! I'm not sure what the complications are involving getting me this, but it's why I couldn't go home this weekend.
It's been stressful. Matt had to apply for health insurance, and put me on under his plan as a supplement to my Medicare, because dialysis isn't completely covered by Medicare. Which shocked me. If Matt hadn't changed jobs when he did, we would have been in real trouble. And of course it's extra money every month that while we have... it makes saving even MORE difficult than it is now.
I'm still super tired on dialysis days. And sometimes on non days. I get super achy. I'm on dilauded still. I think they're going to send me home on it. I've been trying to cut down on how much I ask for it, as compared to how much I'm actually allowed. Because I know that even if I was chemically addicted to it, and I had it at home to take... I'd forget to take it and go through with drawl by accident. I'd just sit there feeling miserable, wondering why I was so sick. I don't want to be taking it every three hours at home. Though I don't get foggy from it anymore... Should that worry me?
Planning for the shower is coming along, and Ana comes soon, so we need to start planning Halloween stuff! I'm excited to see her! I'm going to give her a big hug. I hope I can be active enough to be fun. I don't want her to have a bad time when she's here. I was really worried that we wouldn't have enough stuff for her to do with everyone working, and me not being well. I don't want it to be boring, I want us to have FUN!!! Maybe we should have a pajama party. Just girls. I'll ask Esther and Meredith. Hmmm...
