Guest guest Posted April 15, 2004 Report Posted April 15, 2004 OH, man, Pierre, I'd give you one of my kidneys if I could, but I'm afraid it wouldn't do you any good. Isn't that funny? I always took for granted I'd be able to donate a kidney or a " sliver of my liver " if anyone in my family ever needed it, and now that's just not possible. I am glad your dialysis went swiftly and pleasantly today. About the job. I had an " interview " yesterday, except it wasn't really an interview, it was more like, " When can you start? " , The lady who interviewed me said she's only been in a supervisory position for a couple of weeks, and she said I was the first person she'd ever hired. I will start on Tuesday, provided my urine drug screen comes back negative for any suspicious drugs, and it will. Here's the best part: One of the first things she said to me was, " I don't lie, I don't cheat, and I don't steal--and I don't do fraud either. " I just wanted to shout hallelujah!!! That actually WAS a concern at my previous company. Anyway, this job is a little less paperwork, and a little more patient contact, which is fine by me. AND, if I understood her correctly, this job actually offers all the flexibility that the last one promised and never delivered. So, I don't think doctor's appointments will be any problem. I am SOOO excited! Now that I don't have to start til next Tuesday, I'm having a bit of an extended vacation. And my blood pressure is a little better these days. I wish I had more to say regarding my actual kidneys, but since I don't see DR. O til the end of the month, I have no idea whether I'm improving or declining til then. I thank you all for your good thoughts, prayers and wishes. Early dialysis today The phone rang at about 2 this afternoon, and it was a nurse. My first thought was, oh no, they've got a kidney! It was just the dialysis centre asking if wanted to come in early. No kidney, but at least it was nice to get dialysis over with so early for a change It went very well too. It always goes pretty well, but it was especially easy today, for some reason, and the whole 3-1/2 hours went by really fast.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2004 Report Posted April 16, 2004 Yes, I've been watching them every dialysis night, if a game happens to be on Tuesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays. Luckily, all season, those are the nights of most games. Since the playoffs started, it varies. Every dialysis chair has its own 20-inch TV hanging from the ceiling, with cable and remote. So, can't complain as far as that goes. My biggest problem is that I've often fallen asleep, only to be awakened by a big collective cheer when they score a goal Pierre Re: Early dialysis today > > > > Another thing... > > > > I told the nurses that if I could only have one wish, at the moment, I > would > > rather use it to make the Ottawa Senators win the Stanley Cup, rather then > > to get a kidney > > > > So, I may have jinxed myself for a while > > > > Pierre > > Quote
