Hi Jeanie, I just can't understand why you need to have your "blood cleaned" with such a low creatinine level??? Is there some underlying issue that your not aware of?
My dialysis sessions are boring but I try to keep myself busy. It is actually a rest for me for four hours because when I am at home I have to fix everything that is broken. My hot water heater went and I had to replace it. Then came the dishwasher and I was able to fix that. So, I guess that I am able to get some rest sitting in that dialysis chair... Your HGB is good at 13.1 so count your blessings Could be a lot of reasons your HGB jumped up but don't put a jinx on it. 18's, Marty On Fri, Jun 29, 2012 at 6:20 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > ** > Hi Mary, Yes I'll take a run hehe.
