Hi All, i know it has been a few days since my last blog input, but i have been going through it in a very serious way. First, i am now dealing with very severe edma, in which i was warned that could occur, due to my previous ten year run on hemo and my severe edema issues. I try my best to monitor my fluid intake and keep it to a minimum, but that is not the case, i come in so swollen, that it is a difficult task in determining what appears to be edema or what is excessive fluid, and as i told you, i don't drink or eat very much fluid filled products, (juices, soups, popsicles, of such). I will have to see my neph real soon, to discuss this matter, because i can't keep going on like this, the day after, when the fluids and edema truly start to build up. Sometime i just want to avoid eating much or drinking much, just to have some relief from severe edema. I am aware that all this swelling is coming from this temp cath, and i guess i will just have to endure it, until i can have my hernia repaired, and i can return to PD a few weeks after having the surgery. I know this doesn't reply to all hemo pts, because there are many that are coming along just fine with fistulas, but i do feel for those fellow hemo pts, with graft issues, as i did in the past, I am truly hoping that my edema issues don't result to another bout with CHF (Congestive Heart Failure). I will be watching very closely,& my fluid intake and edema issues, you best believe that. Don't get me wrong, after my treatment is over, i don't feel too bad, i go home and take a 2 hour nap, and i feel fine, but the next day after treatment (between hemo treament), is when i have to deal with edema issues. Well until next blog, take care and all the best to my bloggers.
