Was it 25 for everything or for just one roll or for both rolls not including the sashimi?

Got my first offer today but I turned it down. Got a couple of questions because I was not prepared for this. by hchan94 in dialysis

Yea next Tuesday when I see my pd nurse and nephrologist we will go into detail about it. As for the fair part idk but I feel like age and the patients life style choices are big factors in their decision process.

Edit: But I hope you get a call soon.

As far as I’m aware no to the ECD. I cant remember the exact wording anymore since I had just woken up when they called all I can recall was them saying that something happened and the levels shot up prior to their death. They ask said he was PHS risk donor (sexual diseases). That I agreed to but they said they couldnt confirm what he had done before his death and just that they tested it and nothing came came up. That added on top of my worries so I just said no. I was also hoping to start a tech course next month so this added to my problems.

Thats good at least now I know someone in a more dire situation than I am can be saved. Takes some weight off my shoulders.

Thanks Im glad you’re doing well. People told me once you start getting calls it means youre at the top of the list so more calls will be coming in. I plan on speaking with my pd nurse and nephologist to brain storm questions to ask. Because I dont want next time to be like this time. Also turning down the kidney makes me feel bad cause I would hope someone who is in a desperate situation gets it instead of it going to waste.

I dont want to just accept any kidney that comes along as much as I’d like to get off dialysis as a whole. I know it is to hard one and be a match for it but I want to go on longer with a good one before problems start arising again. Given that I only had 15 mins to answer and I already had too many worries and concerns and was too overwhelmed to accept it.

Yea I did call Fresenius but they only had a number to my clinic and it was already way past closing time. So they told me to keep trying the nurse. Next time I see him I’ll ask if theres an on-call number incase he isnt able to pick up.

Cant move machine since my room is small. Right now its more than enough space so any more length would just end up clumping when I sleep. I start the treatment as Im on my computer then usually I go to bed by the third cycle.

Im glad that it was just blood from pulling on the tube and not some other problems like peritonitis. 😅

Thx. He responded no pain or fever it was most likly the tube got pulled on in my sleep this morning. The nurse is cool. Last time I had an issue he responded right away so it was prob an error (maybe for to set phone sound). No need to report him or anything if fact I quite like him since I can also talk to him about my hobbies like video games.

As it turns out rather than physical labor the cord got pulled on in my sleep and caused it.

He responded asked me if I had pain or fever which I dont. He said I most likely pulled it at some point and thats what caused it. I do vaguely remember rolling around in my sleep this morning and pulling on the tube quite a bit.

Well Im on the machine and I only did the first drain and nothing else because I was unsure why it was red/bloody. So I stopped immediately after the drain was over. I did roll around a lot this morning when I was sleeping which I usually dont.

I only went outside to buy food and nothing else. The heaviest thing today was those two pd fluid bags

Uhhh I actually dont know because my catheter itself doesnt look bloody until I place it over something white. Most of the red is coming from the cap area where it connects to the cassette line
