Mother just woke up early to ask me if I wanted to eat before going to the bathroom or go to the bathroom first before I eat my breakfast. Eating my breakfast in the early morning is really a chore especially if I just woke up. But I have to eat so that I would not get too hungry while hooked-up at my dialysis.
I usually would eat first because I want to be brushed with my teeth before we head on for my session. I just have to have a good fresh breath because it makes me comfortable while being dialyzed for four hours. Also, I wanted my food to get settled a bit into my stomach before I take my Caffeine pills about an hour or an hour and a half before my appointed time.
I am taking my Caffeine pills just before we go, about an hour to an hour and a half before I am hooked-up. Usually the session starts earlier because the patients are told to go early plus the nurses go early as well so most of the patients gets to start their dialysis before 5:30 AM at the most.
I am now back to my early time slot for dialysis now, the Pulmunologist had given me the clearance to get scheduled to the first set of patients. I really do not mind to be scheduled this early but I have some company (my parents) who are affected by it.
Basically my parents just have to wake-up early, much much early, about 2:30 AM so that we can prepare for my dialysis. My mother have to prepare the foods that they will eat and also in supporting me for going to and from the bathroom because I could not possibly walk there all by myself and using it takes time for me to do so.
About an hour and a half before my scheduled dialysis time I should be all dressed, taken my medicine (Caffeine pills), and ready to go. We can just go about half an hour before my schedule but my mother always insists that we should be early as if being late will cause us a demerit or something.
I hope that my mother could be able to buy my favorite meal at dialysis, the "Toppers" as we call them, it is just some breaded fried pork pieces on top of rice with gravy in a bowl. It is very tasty (for me) and I like eating it because I had gotten to like the taste of it.
I also hope that my blood pressure would not crash this time because it does suck when that happens and I do not get to complete my dialysis session too which is just a tragedy and I do not want that to happen. May God help me.
