Hi.
I just got home from taking Lyn and Joe some of that chicken soup I had frozen last week. Today was the first day he was able to have me come. Three days a week, he will spend five hours going for a dialysis treatment. He has Stage 5, or end-stage kidney failure. He will be getting on the kidney donor list, but needs several things to happen before he can. It's complicated; fortunately, I understand it in all kinds of ways. I highly recommended that he make an appointment with a dietician. And I took Do eat and Don't eat lists. He can't take in potassium - he has too much and phosphorus can be harmful but he needs sodium (not salt aka sodium chloride). Ok, TMI I am sure.
I will be helping him with applying for Social Security disability if he needs my help. He is eligible. Anyone is when they have ESRD (End Stage Renal Disease).
The AV fistula failed, so they will be trying it again tomorrow. Outpatient surgery in Raleigh.
He looked better than I thought he would. He was on his laptop working on his latest circuit board design. Grateful he can still do that - he loves it and it keeps him healthily occupied.
Keep those prayers coming, my friends. He truly needs them......
