Well, the end of treatment today was interesting. I gained very minimal fluid since Wednesday and was really excited to see how well I did eating-wise this week. My tech and I decided to go for it and we selected an off weight that would be slightly under my dry weight. (Dry weight means you don't have any excess fluid. In my case, my dry weight has recently be re-set to 117kg, down from 119kg.)
OK...I can see your eyes glazing over.
Basically what happened was a "soft crash" because we tried to take too much fluid off. But, because I'm a doofus, as I was passing out and my blood pressure was 90/40 I was hollering "Don't put the fluid back! Don't put the fluid back!" like a total lunatic.
They put a LITTLE of the fluid back and I came off the scale at 116.5kg!
Oh, happy dance of joy and wonderment!
Sorry to do the kilo thing to you, but we think in those terms on dialysis. One kilo equals 2.2 pounds, so you can do the math if that's your thing. I, however, would rather just keep to the kilos because in my entire life I have never weighed 116 of anything!
Home safe and sound now, Dearies. I'm going to chill a bit and then get this weekend started!
Go,Spinster! Go Spinster! You can do it.

ReplyDeleteFantastic! It's metric here but I still work in stones, pounds and ounces - and yards, feet and inches - that's still a lot of weight lost. When you compare it to a bag of sugar or flour and you have got rid of the equivalent! Well done indeed. xx
