Monday. Chris. Chair 8
The top button hole site went in well and he did it first. The bottom he poked around and it hurt a bunch. He finally gave up and used a sharp needle on the bottom.
1:50pm All set. (I had been called in early by Heather, but Valery didn't know so after hurrying, I had to wait in the lobby.)
I weighted so little, they put me on the crit line!! Weight loss!! This is a good diet. (Cabbage soup diet started on Thursday).
My doc is now Doctor Ducker.
Watched the Outsiders.
They got all new dialysis machines. I had a new BP cuff on chair 8.
Heather held my sites. I explained about the gauze and tapes and the divot. She did great!
6:32pm Home. Went in early today.

Friday. Leann. Chair 8.
11:23am Leann called me in early to come in anytime! I had just arrived at the Y.
12:24 Running to dialysis.
1:04pm All set. Got to see Valery afterall! (She was leaving early and Tim came in her place).
I asked Leann to put in the buttonhole in the bottom, but to use a sharp needle in the top. She did. The sharp needles hurt less. Chris was not there to do the top site and no one else has been able to do the button hole there.
Jamie held my sites, Leann did something in a hurry, and then Jamie finished. They were concentrating on someone else. It was a hurried time getting people off and on. I complained about my tapes being in the divot (where my the thin skin is) and Leann thought I was joking I guess. She didn't fix it. I later told her that I thought it was okay.

Friday. Chris. Chair ?
Saw Leann near farmers market on Tuesday. I said hi. She asked if I wanted to come in early on Friday. I said yes. She said she had to go in early and would call me to come in early.
I didn't get called in early. Chris said Leann didn't come in early.
Rose got called in early. If only Leann hadn't said that to me yesterday...
3:18pm All set. Tried bottom hole, but it didn't work for a button hole. I expected that. He is rushing it. I didn't think it was ready. Doing that can irritate the site and bring a bit of pain.
3:34pm Everyone is so nice here. I was in such a bad mood and they all cheered me! It pays to be nice. It comes back to you.
7:39pm Done. Chris held. My heart was not doing well for a long time. Glad to be off.
