John, co-worker of mine, was interested in donating a kidney to me and was tested to see if we'd match. Yesterday when I was at work.I meant with John and found out that we did not match. Wrong blood type. He was a little upset that we didn't match but told me he was hoping he'd match with someone else. We all have our fingers crossed.
My home dialysis is going OK. Yesterday I had a pretty rough day. I went to work but my blood pressure was so low. I was standing opening an exhibit and went down. I was helped up and put in the Depot's wheelchair. Couple of the building maintenense guys wheeled me across the street to my appartment. I'm very dehydrated with the dialysis exchanges. I had an appointment at the Dialysis Center and when I walked in, my dialysis nurse said "Brian, you look like a ghost, your so white!" I was given a couple bags of IV fluids and as my nurse put it..."you have color in your lips now..you pinked right up" I'm a little ware out today. Just trying to keep pushing fluids to keep the blood pressure up and taking things slow.
