Monday. Chris. Chair 3.
He tried button hole with lower site and dull needle. Didn't work and hurt!
3:11pm All set.
Sunday, someone said they would be my kidney donor!!
4:42pm Just saw Raval. I told him my weight loss and he was glad, then my donor and he got excited. He felt my tummy and he is going to talk to the surgeon!! Said weight loss numbers didn't matter, what mattered was my body structure. Yea! Perhaps I will get a transplant sooner than I thought!
I also told him about the med costing $1500 a month. He has a coupon for $10...hmm.
8:38pm Chris held. I talked more with Kyle. I carried out his bag for him. He called me by my name for the first time.

Friday. Chair 3. Chris.
3:02pm All set.
When I came out of the restroom before going into the lab, the paramedics were there with a stretcher. The stretcher had 2 big bags on it and there were 3 paramedics. Two guys and a girl.
When I got in, I was solemn. I watched Danny get lifted from the chair to the stretcher straight across from me. Didn't say much until Danny left with the paramedics. Told Chris that was sad. He said unfortunately he is used to it. (Monday I asked how he was...if he was better and he said he wasn't).
7:35pm Done. Chris held. I talked to Kyle. 18 year old dwarf who is super sweet. He has been on dialysis since about May or June he said.

Monday. Chris. Chair 4.
3:23pm All set. Chris put the needles in the closed up button hole and they didn't hurt and worked!! He won't be there Wednesday because it is vacation. Ahh....button hole!
3:44pm I am on the crit line cause I weighted so little!!
I got off 15 minutes early to use the restroom and they decided not to put me back on. While holding Chris made my site bleed a lot. The girls teased both him and me. "get out the sawdust"...with looks like it was a swimming pool down where I couldn't see how much he had spilled of my blood.
