TTS- Welcome to a new schedule!

   And so, the new week has begun and so far, I am digging the fact that I am home before the sun sets. My body is actually adjusting to dialysis being earlier in the day and by that I mean, that it is used to being 'cleaned' out at a certain time of day or in this case how many hours past has my body been dialized. I think I mentioned before that a normal person's kidney's dialyzes or filters the blood completely every 12 hours. Can you imagine how a person feels if he had to wait 24-48 hours for his/her blood to be cleaned out? Imagine the toxins building and damaging tissues and nerves and such.
   Well, now you know how I feel lol. I won't go into all the chemical imbalances that such a treatment can place on normal functions of the body. It will be a while I'm thinking before I get used to a 'day' schedule. I'm used to going straight to bed after a treatment, but now I've got an entire afternoon and evening before I can hit the hay. Mmmmm, hay, I mean, sleep. Until the next treatment!
