5/14

There is nothing like taking your son to your mammogram appointment. My appointment was at 6:45 am. It’s another item checked off my donor screening. Who doesn’t love a good boob compression first thing in the morning. 

We went directly to dialysis training after that.  I had my training with my fabulous new BFF dialysis nurse. I was sort of  over everything and then I took a sip of coffee and realized there was none left in my travel mug. I started to downward spiral a little bit. I was taking deep breaths and giving myself a pep talk....”you can do this!”  Then, he shared we were going to watch training videos. Imagine my face when I found of this fantastic new piece of information. I sadly looked at my cup and muttered something about how sad I was that I drank all my coffee. He took hardcore pity on me.  He was so kind and made me a coffee.  I knew I was going to need it. I didn’t realize how much until we stayed watching some pretty hilariously boring training videos. They were so bad that they were brilliant.

Today Ethan had a break once we got home.  I went into work. Avery was on seizure watch and stayed home with him. While I didn’t work a lot this week, I was able to go in a few days this week which felt good to have a little bit of normalcy. It feels busy but it is manageable. 

Avery and I took the dogs for a walk. What this really means is that we walk around our field with the dogs off leash. They run and sniff things, they chase each other and pee in stuff. A dogs life is so simple. They are so comforting and fun, with a small serving of pain in the ass. Of course Avery and I had a great chat about our day to one another. 

The weather has really been beautiful and a definite bright side.
