Another Week


Microblogging Monday


Another week has started.  It's Monday all over again.  Friday was not a good day.  The reality of my life is that in order to stay alive, I must have a three hour hemodialysis treatment three times a week.  My days are Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  This is new to me.  I have only been on dialysis since the first week of May, 2014.  It has been a challenging transition.  But as someone else once said, "the bottom line is I'm still alive."  And that's the truth.  And I feel blessed to be able to spend more time with my family.  Everyday I tell them how much I love them.  Just in case...

      Thank you for your comment. One thing I have learned, the routine at dialysis is always the same but the body's response is always a little different. It definitely can be "physically grueling" some days. Those are the days when I just want to come home and take a nap!

      Your idea of Microblogging was just the push I needed to start writing. I've thought about it off and on for several years without any follow through. Thank you for helping us ("established but fallen away" and/or new bloggers) form this writing habit.
