Not a good day .................

MrGee is a very positive guy. He always has been. If he is faced with a challenge, he will take on the issue with an upbeat attitude always expecting the outcome to be a good one.
With that said, I can see that the dialysis is getting him down already. He said a couple of days ago that he feels slightly depressed after he has his 4 hour dialysis session. This morning he said he was feeling totally flat , he even cancelled going to one of our friends birthday parties this evening!! He says he just doesn't want to have to talk about his kidney. I'm feeling so sad for him. I asked what I could do to help him feel better ...... he sad that there was nothing I could really do ...... mmmmmm

Our first visit......

Only after MrGee's second week of dialysis was he comfortable with us coming into the dialysis room to have a look-see.......

MrGee is attached to the blue machine on the right. The cylindrical tube in the middle of the photo acts as his kidney, filtering out all the junk from the blood. He connects to this machine every third day for a 4 hour session.
