Ugh! It’s been only a few days and I already having a difficult time with the midday fill. First, I have to do the fill at work. The schedule is to have me drain the final fill from the cycler around noon and manually fill about 2000 mL for the rest of the day. However, I do the exchanges in my cubicle and I do not have any good place to hang the solution bag. Our cubicle have low walls and I don’t want to bring an IV pole to work. Right now, it’s taking over an hour to do the manual fill part, and the solution is COLD!
This morning, I felt really full for some reason. I even got up to stand during the final drain so the final volume will be ~1500 mL. However, with each bump in the road, I felt the fluid sloshing around. I ended up draining about 2300 mL at 9am but still had abdominal pain throughout the entire day. I also skipped the manual fill today.
