During my last appointment, my PD nurse said that it should be okay if I need to skip a day of dialysis. Of course it’s not recommended but my stats suggests that missing a day won’t have much impact. That’s good to know. There were many days where I basically collapse into bed as soon as I get home from work but still managed to get up and set up for dialysis.
I almost skipped dialysis last night. Our small group from church had a birthday dinner. As usual, we ended up at an AYCE Korean BBQ place. I left dinner early but still didn’t get home until 9:45pm. After taking a shower to get rid of the smell, it was almost 10:30pm when I started the cycler. I ended up cutting the last dwell short by 20 minutes to finish by 7:00am this morning so I wouldn’t be late to work.
PD basically limits my activity during weekday nights to nil. I guess I’ll “save” the skip dialysis card for when I really need it.
