Had my monthly meeting with my Dialysis Team as scheduled yesterday. As expected, they were very pleased with my lab results. We will stay the course on my dialysis prescription, not take any blood pressure meds, and continue to monitor, but work on more protein in my diet. My dialysis nurse Cindy also provided four boxes of 6 liters of 1.5% dialysis solution so I have a buffer against the Sanfu reported yesterday. Again, hopefully, the supply that went missing will be delivered on schedule on 4/17/2024.
My lab results indicate that I am on the cusp of at least from a number of perspectives getting enough dialysis. This is also reflected in how I feel. Upon returning from walking our Golden Retriever, I no longer have to sit down and rest. I am not getting slightly out of breath. I can go longer and stronger and accomplish some yard work without having to take a break every five minutes. While I am some distance from the former lean and mean machine known in Porsche racing circles as “Hammerin’ Hank,” at this stage in my life things look pretty good from where I’m standing. Hope they do for you also!
