 Dialysis ended last night at 11:30. I was feeling a bit tired today. I also have a swollen leg from a bee sting. So I probably have to go to the doctor tomorrow. It’s not just swollen a little. It is hot and sore, it is swollen from my knee to my ankle….it also spreading. So that is a fun little side gig I have going on. Probably just a little sepsis.

Don’t worry. My blood pressure is fine and I am not confused. My temperature is normal so I think I will be ok for a few hours while I sleep.

I may have to re-evaluate this dialysis schedule because it isn’t for sissies. I am pooped. I have to catch up tomorrow. I have the day off. It’s graduation day for Ethan. 

The live stream to Ethan’s graduation is: https://www.youtube.com/user/HiltonCSD

The ceremony starts at 7:30.

I am not even going to bother wearing makeup because I will likely cry. I balled like a baby at pre-k graduation. Mostly because we were told that there was a good chance he would be learning disabled after his heart surgery at 9 months. They cut his blood supply off to his brain for several minutes as they removed a piece of aorta and then reattached it. 

Ethan worked hard for this graduation to happen.  He attended class during withdrawals. He worked on homework when he was exhausted or having dialysis done. I am proud of him.

My bright spot for today included many things. My only two complaints are that I am tired and my leg hurts. Other than that, we just move forward.
