My Plan For Tomorrow's Dialysis And I Hope It Works🥪🍴🩸🧹
When I go now for my dialysis session I make sure that I would eat. The reason for that is one , to raise up my blood pressure so that I will have an allowance for a blood pressure drop rather than having a lower blood pressure prior for my dialysis which tends to make my blood pressure to crash.
The other reason is that I do not want to have a low blood sugar which again might lead to having my BP to drop. So I just want to be at least have eaten some food with a bit of protein in it so that my blood sugar would be stable. I do not have a diabetes but I just want to make sure that my digestive system is supplying my body with nutrients during the first hour of my session.
The reason of eating about two hours before my session is to just stabilize my blood pressure because I do not want to make it drop as the nurses would pump my system with sodium, saline solution, stop the fluid drawing process known as "Minimum" where I will only get some cleaning for my blood, they also slow down the blood pump or worse stop the dialysis altogether.
It is just my peeve when that happens and I have none to blame but my body's unpredictability when it comes to my dialysis which often I have no clue why my BP is stable in certain dialysis days and would crash in some days while I am sure that I already had ate my meals prior and during my session.
Eating is just my way of not making my BP to drop while other patients does not eat and yet have a better and stable blood pressure. I guess it depends on each patient. But this was not the case before when I was just starting dialysis even though they take much fluids in my body. But maybe the factor there was my kind of dialyzer which is efficient in cleaning my blood as it allows bigger molecule toxins like uric acid to pass through easily as it had much bigger holes in comparison to the regular dialyzer, the blood filter we use for cleaning out my blood.
I haven't figured out in using a more efficient dialyzer which is called a "highflux" dialyzer, it is because in my recent dialysis centers where I went they are not offering it. So that just contributed to my already high elevations of Phosphorus in my body which is why I was also suffering from skin itchiness because of that plus not getting educated or at least informed and advised by my doctor about the value of taking phosphate binder for that matter.
So now I have to manage this mess-up which for me is quite uncertain if I would ever to overcome. But I pray for god's blessing and also prayer for those who really care for my efforts in order for me to un-bury myself out from these things that is troubling me in most of my stay here on the face of earth.
So tomorrow before I go for my super early shower/bath I would eat my Pepperoni sandwich rather than to cram in eating it while inside the car which is proving to be difficult too because my father really just drives fast because the suspension of our car is killing me and it is hard to eat when subjected into that scenario. Now I do not have to worry about eating inside the car and just concentrate on how I could secure my backbone and tailbone from the blows of the bumps that I have to endure even from the smallest humps on the road.
