Dialysis Update

Hey Blog fans,

OMG who am I kidding lol. Ok well anyway -- lots to report so grab that coffee or Cherry Coke *pokes tongue out*

We arrived here in Sydney on Sunday afternoon at my parents house without incident. We settled in nicely & had a yummy home cooked dinner to boot. Monday morning arrived bright & sunny -- we trundled off the the hospital for an 11am start. Talk about hitting the ground running!!
No time to ease into it -- straight up this is what we are going bang bang bang.

There is so much to learn & take in and try as I might I have not zoned out once yet lmao. Shrimpy has been taking it all in & has even managed to hold me in awe of just what he has paid attention too. Katie the dietician came to visit yesterday & he was able to tell her what foods are high in phosphate that he is not allowed to have & what foods are high on potassium which are not so great for him either. Blew me away. There have been some dietary changes such as no Coca Cola,or cola of any kind for that matter. This pains him no end but it is something he has accepted that must be done.

He has learnt to give himself manual exchanges as well this last few days...which is a relief off my mind. We have yet to learn the machine side of things but we will learn that all next week. There have been a few things that have worried me such as Peritonitis but at the same time if things are kept spotless & hygenic around him it wont be an issue.

Anyway I better go -- It has been a long couple of days & I didnt sleep much last night *groan*

Before I do go -- I want to wish Tudy a very happy birthday....I know it was a couple of days ago & I have already wished you the best day possible -- but i wanted it noted here as well. God bless & I am truly glad you had a wonderful day.

*loves n hugs*
