Due to the difficulty last time I took a walk, I wanted to try again today since I seem to have less fluid retention after the last dialysis session. Instead of going outside, I just walked on the treadmill in the garage. It was about 86 degrees in the garage so that didn’t help. Anyway, I walked for about 25 minutes at 1.6 miles per hour so maybe 0.7 miles total? I did take a quick break to take a tiny sip of water but felt fine the rest of the time. I wasn’t even breathing hard at the end of 25 minutes though I did feel a bit tired so I didn’t go for 30 minutes.
Hopefully this means I’m close to getting rid of all the excess fluids and my breathing will go back to normal. Maybe I’ll ask the dialysis techs to drop another 0.5 kg tomorrow and see if I can leave at 82.0 kg.
