Jewells of Thought

Have you had an experience where it was pretty much nothing like the way you thought it should be? That was this morning for us!

I know that things happen and we can’t always anticipate what will happen and each scenario with every patient. I have lived through this in Dialysis Clinics. We prepare as much as possible, but things do happen we are all human and errors or little mix-ups will indeed happen day to day.

Thankfully I was able to adapt to each scenario with Mom. She even said she was happy I was with her this morning. Especially as I helped her get into the gown. She wasn’t supposed to take her pills save one and ironically that is the only one I took this morning as well. We have the same pill and we take it before the other pills we take of the morning. I guess that shows how much of her genes I have that we both have the same low fluctuating organ. Anyhow I like Mom didn’t take the bulk of my pills as she didn’t because it was too early and I didn’t want to eat in front of her this morning.

However, I always worry about not taking my allergy medicine before 9 am. I have some really bad migraines due to not having my allergy pill at all and that’s usually about the time of day it has hit me hard. Today I didn’t really notice it for the first time ever when I hadn’t taken that pill. Yet I wonder if taking that first pill ultimately helped me to counteract my lack of normal pills. I don’t really know I only know what I have felt previously and how I felt today.

Then when we did get through with the hospital and was eating I had nearly finished my sweet tea before I even thought about taking my pills. My hunger and the tempestuousness of the previous hour and a half had taken its toll on my memory apparently.

There is more to this story, but I am still digesting it and marinating on how to explain what happened this morning before we got to the hospital and during our time there…
