Day 3 of Dialysis

For all of us that want to lose weight. Jim lost 14 pounds n 3 days. That is how much water they have taken out of him in 3 days of dialysis. I told the nurse today to hook me up. Take that water.

On Sunday Jim's BUN was 138. 20-30 is normal. His Creatin was 2.0. With a 138 this should have been 4. Normal being 1.0. But the numbers were totally out of ratio and this really concerned the doctors and that's the reason for the dialysis. Today Jim's BUN is 44 and Creatin is still 2.0. This is a normal ratio but both numbers are still high. These numbers were done this morning before the dialysis. We hope to see these numbers normal tomorrow.

No culture results are in yet. These take time to grow. Jim is alert. Much more so that the previous days. This morning better than late evening. After the dialysis he is wiped out. The plan is to do dialysis Thursday and Saturday and then reevaluate his situation. Here's hoping.

Went to Bingo tonight but no bingo's for the three of us. Did this layout a couple of days ago for my calendar. Need to fix a couple of things with layouts from the previous days and will do this tomorrow. For now I'm going to bed.
