A quieter day from me. Dialysis was tougher than expected—my blood pressure dropped sharply, and we couldn’t remove as much fluid as planned. It looks like I’ve put on a bit of weight, which explains the hand and leg cramps even without reaching “dry weight”.
So while we tried to regulate the BP, I was on a chair head back, legs in the air. So that’s the picture today.
Resting now and letting my body settle. Hoping for a steadier run next time.
