My Blood Pressure Went Lower Today According To The Nurse That Took A Reading But I Am Not Feeling It

I was able to finish my dialysis but the nurse that took the reading of my blood pressure 45 minutes prior to the expected termination time said that it was too low because she said it was around the 60/40 level which I am not believing because I am not feeling even the slightest telltale signs of it.

That instance prompted my head nurse to fiddle with the dialysis machine and not only possibly stopped the water removal but also infused extra fluids in my system because I felt it already. You really can feel it because of your heart would seem to pump harder.

I did told the head nurse prior to my hook-up to take-off the fluid amount that specified, more than the usual that I am targeting and had it not been for that I might have been gone home with much more extra fluids in my system.

Well I will just try to put on my sweat suit a day before my next dialysis on Wednesday God-willing if I would feel that I am already relatively very heavy at that point because I only have a four Kilos limit which my nurses had set for me but I am still not sure if that is still the case until now.

I am at least thankful that I ma able to finish my session because even my nurses want me to complete it as they know that we are paying extra four dollars (in dollars equivalent) on top of the extra ten dollars billing charge for our treatments as the third batch of patients for this day. So she doesn't want us to now get our money's worth of treatment.

My dialysis treatment had gone quite more expensive already from doubling the previous amount to another four dollars because of their reason of CoViD pandemic hospital safety measures and almost all patients are affected plus it is not that easy to jump to other dialysis centers as well as you will have to be tested for CoViD-related examinations which which are really a pocket-burner for that matter.

The CoViD pandemic just had put salt on the wound for me most especially, to most of us dialysis patients so my future had become more uncertain than ever. I really wanted to die already as the factor of pain in my life had made it not good anymore to exist. Quite pointless to fight if really the barriers in my plans are to rocky to trek now and I am praying to God to just put me out from my misery already even though I had never gotten any of my plans to make happen.
