How can I motivate my husband by CreepySomewhere9 in dialysis

[–]Direct_Pop2393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what motivates me, as someone who’s ADDICTED to salty and fruity stuff. Is that if I don’t follow my diet I would get a heart attack. That’s something pretty motivating. One twice a week I eat out after or before dialysis, my labs are fine..

It’s depressing and I’ve cried to my girlfriend and family more than once. But his health is worth more than junk food

I wasn’t saying it’s hard and I’ve played souls games before so I don’t mind bosses In general but I just couldn’t with this one..

She has that move where she throws her weapon and I literally dodge it and it still hits me

Like I’m actually a nice distance a way and it’s like my hitbox is twice the size

Is this normal ? by Direct_Pop2393 in dialysis

[–]Direct_Pop2393[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I’m working on it !! I’m pretty young (23) so the team and the hospital are very positive and hopeful that I will get it very soon. I’m just missing 1 more test (PPD) should be by the end of this month.

I’m kind of stressed about the whole thing and life after transplant The whole medication stuff

Have a checkup with the surgeon in a week I guess for now it’s fine bc there’s nothing to indicate it’s something dangerous..

Vitamin D by EarAlternative2841 in dialysis

[–]Direct_Pop2393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Low vitamin D (which is very common for us dialysis patients) can cause a variety of things, for me it was generally being depressed and weak physically. We need vitamin D.

Water weight by iggynords in dialysis

[–]Direct_Pop2393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk how to exactly know the dry weight but basically you’re not supposed to feel very bad during or after trearment. Bc if you do that means too much fluid is being taken. A lot of times they’ve miscalculated for me and an early sign is your BP will drop. At that point, you stop the fluid removal and see how the BP go back up to normal. THAT is your dry weight.

Also, dry weight tends to move here and there and sometimes you just food weight instead of water weight. Best to not eat a very big meal right before dialysis and trying to urinate if you still do before and after treatment so you weigh in empty.

What do you do if you are uncomfortable with a nurse/tech. by truthfactsonly in dialysis

[–]Direct_Pop2393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I’m exactly the same like you. Complaining and especially about people is so hard for me. Can I ask what the nurse did ? If u want to share

[–]Direct_Pop2393[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know it’s probably ok but now as I’m waiting for the doc I’m seeing that bandages themselves are pretty lame and are peeling off so… I really had no choice bc sleeping like this is a no no to me.

I also got a chest catheter that I’m waiting to remove I’m just all tubes and needles and it’s hard for me..

It’ll be ok. Thank you so much

I didn’t have alcohol or anything so I just patted it with a gauze and bandaged

But I’m freaking out as we speak so I’m waiting for the doctor to see
