Good day Thursday

Dialysis went well Thursday.  I got an electric blanket for dialysis.  It's a "throw" and measures 4' x 5'.  It's perfect! and I was warm the first time.  What a blessing and I mean that!

 

Once again I'm reminded how blessed I am.  Luana besides me was vomiting the whole time.  She has such a rough time on dialysis.  And Jeff was cramping ( a common occurence on dialysis because often your blood pressure drops suddenly and drastically).

 

Please pray for Jeff and Luana and Norman. Norman has been so depressed about dialysis that he quit coming for about a week.  As a result when he came back he had to be rushed to the hospital.

 

Most people on dialysis go through some depression (even me when I feel sorry for myself.  Fortunately that is rare).  Typically if you quit dialysis your life span is about 1 or 2 weeks.

 

Dialysis is serious stuff and I'm reminded of it every other day.  I thank you for praying for me and for those of you who drive me to and from dialysis.  It means so much to me.

 

Love, Dan

rough week

Rough week.  Glad it's over.

 

Sunday (today) was much better.  Felt good and was privileged to be able to go to church.

 

Please pray for Jeff, Roxanne, and Luana.  Friends at dialysis.  They each have their own life struggles.

 

Love, Dan

sailing along

Dialysis went pretty good Tuesday.  Cold again towards end of treatment.

 

Like I said the other day,  Things are going along pretty good tiill I get there and then BOOM!

 

There are people fighting for there lives.  Please pray for Roxanne and Luana.  They're having a rough time.

 

Thanks for all your prayers.

 

Love, Dan

Home again

I'm back.

 

Dialysis has gone well the last week.  Feeling pretty good over all.  Just trying to straighten out and unpack.

 

Thanks to all of you for the prayers and encouragement.

 

Let me know what you'd like me to pray for.  I try to spend an hour or so at dialysis every other day.  I'd be honored to pray for your needs.

 

Love, Dan

Good Morning!

Dialysis went well yesterday.  2 more left before I head back up north.

 

Weather is cold here low 70's!

 

Haven't felt real good last few days.  Nothing major.

 

Glad to hear Claire Bear is doing okay.

 

Going to miss it here, but glad to be going home!

 

Love, Dan
