The "Dialysis Sucks but I'm Feeling Good", edition.

Good Wednesday morning. We usually have deep water fitness MWF morning, but our instructor called in sick. We think she has a hangover.  Moving on. Dialysis has been relatively uneventful. Brian changed some settings on the machine to make set up easier.  Whatever that means. Lol. Anyway. While riding in the car this morning I just had a random thought that I'm feeling good. And I am. So yeah dialysis sucks, but all things considered I'm not doing to bad. I still need the parathyroid surgery. I attempted to take a smaller dose of the pill to control my parathyroid and like clockwork, I had the bad reaction and was out of Commision for the next 12 hours. Ugh 

For some reason we didn't do treatment Friday evening, so I did it Saturday morning. This meant I missed sorority meeting. :-(  And we'd finish just in time to make it to watercolor class. We got there and got started. Within the first hour I got hot and I got dialysis brain...I couldn't concentrate. Bleah. I ended up going to wait on the car. Put the windows down and reclined for the next 2 hours. Eh. I have days like that. I wasn't sad. My brain and body just didn't want to cooperate and I just rolled with it. 

So this past Sunday we took Dad to Hooters for our Sunday brunch. For chicken wings. Really. No really. Lol. I asked Brian if we should go to Buffalo Wild Wings (BWW) or Hooters.  He suggested Hooters because we hadn't been there in years. Uh huh. Anyway. We ended up at the Hooters Casino since it was close. Sort of. And found the restaurant. Sunday was sports day so many TVs and football games.  Because we're on pacific time games start early out here. And for the record Dad was nonplussed at the servers outfits. He was much more interested in chicken wings!  Rofl. 

And because it was a sports bar (wink wink), most of the patrons were male. A few women came in with dates or partners and were involved in the football games. We chuckled that our server was probably younger than our daughter and that the uniforms were stuck on an 80s time warp.   Dad goes over the menu. He decides which sauces he wants. And Brian and I decide which sauces we want. We're ordering 20 wings so that allows 4 different sauces. We thought. The server tells us 1 sauce per 10 wings. What!?!! BWW is a lot more flexible. Anyway. Before we can discuss this dad orders the sauces.  Lol. He picks the General tsao, 2 peppers.....and 911, 4 peppers (!!!!) :-/

I'm think OMG, we're not going to be able to eat those 10 wings. When they come Brian tries it first. He didn't die. Then I tried one. It was just hot enough. It wasn't fire like I thought it would be. It was actually pretty good as were the General tsao wings. The final consensus was Hooters wings were good. And we watched football. Dad enjoyed the wings. Lol. And we didn't eat them all. We took 5 wings home. And we devoured the 911 wings. So now we have to go to Buffalo Wild Wings for a comparison. 

Well that's it for today. Wednesday is an off day for dialysis. I look forward to Wednesday's. Going to the movies today and maybe have Mexican food for lunch. Oh. We're going to be fine we always are. There may be challenges. But we keep going! Have a wonderful day!
