Tuesday
El Milagro: I get here on time. Joseph the Hulk cannulates me and this time he shoves the needle into my arm painfully... after I sarcastically said I like the pain... maybe he is testing me. He takes the 5 or 6 vials they take for monthly blood work. Jo the Nurse comes over to do my nursing evaluation. My BP is 116/76.
Rowder comes by to do his weekly drive by and says this week they are focusing on fistulas. How's my fistula? "Fine".
"Okay. Anything else?"
"Nope."
"Next week we'll have labs to discuss."
"Okay."
I listen to ATC, watch the ABC News, and Jim Lehrer's News Hour. Then surf through a bunch of bad TV until I find the last half of The Magnificent Seven. What a GREAT Movie!
So it goes on a Tuesday evening in dialysis.
Notes: In at 76.2 and out at 74.4.
