My Dialysis Went Well Today But My Back Is Sore

I was able to finish my dialysis today so I am really happy with it unlike in the past many sessions that I had that my blood pressure just crashed even though I had eaten a lot which is supposed or believed to stabilize the blood pressure, to keep it high so that the session won't get interrupted.

The lowest that my BP reads today was 120 and from that point I am already restless because I am beginning to feel the tell-tale signs of BP crashing. But my BP didn't crash and I gloriously finished my dialysis without the nurses adding saline solution in my blood stream or cutting back fluids that must get taken off.

So in turn I was able to go home lighter today even though I had eaten a lot because I was able to finish my food and drank all my energy drink in my thermos. Also my pre-dialysis BP was 160 and I went home with 120/80 but maybe higher now that I am home already. So there was a big allowance there before I feel light-headed and fortunately I didn't suffer low blood pressure crash.

It is just good because I have an extra allowance of fluids to intake before I get breathless which is perfect as my next session God-willing will be at Tuesday morning.

Right now my back is really not good and is sore so I just have to take easy and I might take some of my usual pain reliever so I would be more at ease with all these generalized pain but I am still grateful that I am not having those pains more than a year ago and God forbid that it would happen again. I still need more prayers.
