thank you all so much

Post by Mike »

I just wanted to say thank you for the support you given me over the last few days. I feel like I've been a bit stupid, I didn't really fully appreciate before it quite what it involved and thought it would be a breeze but it wasn't.

It is much better today, still hurts but not as much. I went out for the first time today to the hospital and went shopping but it absolutely exhausted me. I had the dreessing changed for the first time which was a relief as it was getting itchy so feels much better and it looks like it is healing quite nicely. I met my PD nurse today and she is coming to my house next wed/thurs for training!! It's come around so quickly, I thought it would be a few weeks more and I am very nervous as I know how important it is to get things right and there is so much to learn.

Anyway thanks so much for all your advice and support

Mike :D

Hi Mike.
It's not stupid at all to anticipate no problems - sometimes it's the only way to get through things!
I'm glad you're feeling better.
You're right - there is a lot to learn about the next step with your renal nurse, but it doesn't half focus the mind when you remember it's all to do with your own health - you'll be your own expert in no time!
Good luck with the training.
You have to repeat the procedure so many times you'll be able to do it blindfold, standing on 1 leg while whistling "Rule Britannia"by the time she's finished with you!
