After home dialysis Tuesday, I had issues. I took an ambulance ride to the Emergency Room. They couldn't find anything wrong with me. I dialyzed in the hospital on Thursday. Friday my blood pressure spiked and I was nauseous. I started taking all the blood pressure meds I have in the house. Saturday, I dialyzed In-Center. I didn't tolerate it very well and they gave me some saline and pulled me off early. When I got home, I added more blood pressure meds and tried to calm down. I'm caught in a dangerous cycle. I get scared that something is wrong and that undoubtedly is raising my pressure and heart rate and that's freaking me out. To make matters worse. We're making a switch from a 1K bath to a 2K bath. The last time we tried this, I ended up in the hospital. I can't stay on the 1K bath, so I'm pretty much screwed if this doesn't work. My parents were down on Wednesday and my dad volunteered to donate his kidney, so we started the process. I anticipate I'll be a transplant athlete again in about a month if everything goes well.
