This week my weight has been steadily going up, like M-F 152.2, 151.2, 152.2, 153.0, and 155.2. this morning the cycler indicated a -599 mico which indicates fluid left in me. My wife noticed my face looked bloated. I going to have to call Fresenius Tech Support and spend an inordinate amount of time with them hoping to receive a replacement Cycler.
Meanwhile, out of the last seven days, I have only experienced ONE NIGHT without drain alarms. That for the record provided the potential for one night of interrupted sleep out of seven. Per my Neurologist and Fresenius team support personnel, I have been taking MiraLAX daily to no avail which leads me to suspect the Cycler even more.
With my weight gain, I noticed my glucose readings inching upward also. Not drastically, but three out of the five last morning fasting readings from my Libre 3 CGM have been over 106. It all points back to the Cycler IMHO.
Spring is really coming on strong here in North Texas. Our mowers have mowed our yard once, and last night’s rain really greened things up. Our tomato and pepper plants are doing well, as are our early flowers – hyacinths daffodils, and tulips. The female goose is still on her nest on our roof. In a couple of weeks, we should see some youngins. I read that the parents encourage their young to jump out of the next from a ground position but don’t force them out.
I changed the oil, oil filter, and air filter on our 2014 BMW 328D yesterday and accomplished the same on our 2019 BMW X5 today, along with topping off all the fluids and tire pressures. We are ready for summer.
Fresenius called me earlier today and informed me that our catch-up deliveries of supplies would take place between 7-11 AM Monday. Some things in the world of Dialysis do work. Hank
