Monday

Today I just got some platelets and had my Tessio catheter flushed. Dialysis is definitely going to happen - I'm just waiting to get an appointment sometime this week. I think that will make me feel better. It seems like EVERYTHING hurts. The worst is my left wrist, which I can barely bend and can't lift any weight. It's also very hard to send text messages. After that, my right shoulder hurts at the muscle I tore and now the shoulder joint has started hurting. My hips and ankles also hurt so walking more than a block or two is out. I think that all my joint problems are caused by a build-up of toxins in my blood and that dialysis will help that.
I saw Dr. Martin again today but just in passing so we didn't talk much. I want to try get get a date for the transplant. My disability runs out May 17 so I need to be ready to go back to work then.
