Dialysis

So, Kris, big needle whimp that I am - survived my first dialysis!
I really did not expect to.

The Northwest Kidney Center got me in on an emergency basis.
They had a full house!
Wow!
And they were amazed at how far I had gone without dialysis, almost apologetic!

They went over my medical history, medicines, etc.
Apologized again for the delay!
Hooked me up and ran me for three hours.
I did well.
I had lots of questions,
A few made them laugh,
But with no comfort in what we were doing ...

In all a six hour event.
My massive angst unfathomed by any but myself.
And like most irrational fears, there was no real basis for it.

But lots of prayers are always good.
