Another 2 long days gone!

So another 2 lonnnng schoolvdays are gone and I couldn’t be more glad! Once again, so far, so good.

While at school today, my nurse called me about my blood work. It was all incomplete! I KNEW it! When I dropped my blood work off, I did have that feeling that the person I was handing my blood to had no idea what was going on. To be honest, she seemed more concerned with adjusting her “protect me from H1N1” mask than listening to what I was telling her.

According to my nurse, my hemoglobin was running at 138! (or, 13.8). While low hemoglobin is bad, hemoglobin that is too high is also not good. If my hemoglobin is too high, I am more likely to clot my circuit. The other blood work can wait, but it’s important to at least do the hemoglobin so we can see if my aranesp needs to be lowered or something.

I’m selling one of my old cell phones on ebay. It’s so frustrating when you list something and all these scam artists bid on it and try to convince you to send the phone somewhere OTHER than Canada or the United states. I get really nervous when I start an auction…and someone joins ebay the VERY same day and starts bidding on my item. I put a restriction on the auction that stipulates you MUST have a valid paypal account to bid on my item. We’ll see what happens when the phone actually sells 🙁

I’m soo glad that I’m off from work this week. Usually I’d work tomorrow…but I’m gonna set my dialysis machine for 8 hours and 20 minutes…and sleep myself into paradise. Then, I’ll get up, disconnect myself, disinfect, shut the water off…then go back to sleep!

(oh yeah, insert MAKE SURE MY ARM IS FOR SURE CLOTTED AND NOT GONNA BLEED ALL OVER THE PLACE somewhere in there too).
