Crazy Day!!!

Just like the title says, today was an awful crazy day. I start out every Thursday at 6:15 am in the dialysis chair. This is usually ok because I can sleep for a couple hours and then do some homework. Today, on the other hand, was different. I fell asleep right away, which is good, but at 7:30 I woke up sweating and nauseous. I ended up dry heaving for 20 minutes straight. I guess I had an air bubble my blood line. This air bubble is from oxygen in the blood. The machine takes this air bubble out and since the oxygen is gone in the blood, I don’t get that to my brain. Anyways, my blood pressure dropped and I felt awful. So after I recovered from that I went back on the machine. Then towards the end of the run, my blood thickened up and I had to be taken off the machine early. This is bad as you can imagine. I don’t get as many toxins taken out, and not as much water taken off my body. The techs joked saying I should stay home and not leave the house all day due to my start of the day.

This problem was not my only one. I am currently working on a house that my father-in-law bought. It is already sold and I only have one thing left to do. I need to get this done. Well I went to do this job today. I found out really what I already knew. I am very weak. I had a hard time even climbing the ladder today. I also forgot to bring the right extension cord and a separate time, forgot to take my camera. I finally got home after all this and had to quick do homework. I know that this probably isn’t the worst day you have ever heard of, but it was one of the worst I had in long time. I was very frustrated.

After all this happened I drove to school because I have a class from 6:00pm-10:00pm. On the way to this class I was listening to WJQ 99.3. They read Philippians 2:14 it says “Do everything without complaining or arguing.” I just had to laugh. Who says God doesn’t talk to us. That was about as plain a voice as it could be. God knows what I need. Needless to say I tried to take the verse to heart.
