Well, on Wednesday, I asked the nurse what I could take for the cold. The nephrologist walked in just I asked. The official cold medicines for dialysis patients (at least patients of my neph) are Robitusdin DM and Zyrtec. And now I'm symptom free....and loopy. I gotta tell ya, that scratchy throat sucked. I could barely talk.
I've tossed the cane! Lately, I've been forgetting the cane. When we checked out of the hotel, as soon as the door closed, I realized I left the cane. Of course we did express check out, so the key cards were left in the room. Of course. The front desk made a card and we retrieved the cane. I'd been forgetting the cane all that week. Starting this past Monday, I just left it at home. My walking has improved. Stairs are a bit of a challenge, but much more doable. Getting up from is chairs so much easier. The Delphonics, "Ready or Not". The names of groups from the 70's sometime make no sense. What's a "delphonic"? Nevertheless, the music is great, so I'll let the name slide. :-).
Well, this a short entry. I planned on going over the types of dialysis, but the meds have control of me. I selected that topic because one of the members of the Facebook group I belong to is having crazy serious complications from peritoneal dialysis. I was considering that. I'm not anymore. I'll go over the different types next week.
Signing off with "Who Am I ( What's My Name )?", Snoop Dogg. That'll wake you up! :-). Have a great weekend.
That is a great feeling when u get rid of the cane. I have recently and officially been liberated from my cane. I keep it in my car, just in case, though.
