Ken and I took Mandy down to Lee Gulch for a walk in the snow, then Mandy and I raced downtown to pick up K in the early afternoon, and now she's beginning to settle back into life at home. She had stayed an extra day in the hospital, hopefully to get the benefit of an extra dialysis today. Unfortunately, this morning's dialysis was unsuccessful, for various reasons, mostly unanticipated clotting and swelling, so they sent her home without it.
She's supposed to begin her regular dialysis sessions next Tuesday afternoon, at a dialysis center about 13 miles from home, about a 30 minute drive. That's pretty far away, but that's all they could arrange on short notice. We're hoping she can get on a waiting list for a center closer to home, and perhaps arrange for a shuttle service to transport her, so we won't have to drive her all the time.
