We just canceled our tentatively planned driving trip to see family in CA for the Christmas holiday. K's about ready to commit to dialysis. She's been feeling lousy for a long time, but was holding on, and hoping she could put it off until January. The past few weeks she's been feeling even worse. Her legs have swollen until she has very little range of motion. She's thinking she needs to start soon, in which case, they'll want her in the hospital for the first day, and here in town for the first 30 days. After that, she'll be spending 4 hours at a dialysis center every other day, for the foreseeable future, or until she can get a kidney transplant. That will make traveling problematic, since we would have to find a dialysis center at every town we stop in, and reserve a treatment for her every other day. The people she's asked say that it's difficult to find places during the holidays, because a lot of other dialysis patients are trying to do the same thing.
So... I guess we'll be pretty much on our own for the holidays this year. Our little dog Mandy is trying very hard to be a good companion for us, and is doing a wonderful job at it, so I have hopes that we'll have an OK time, just the three of us.
