Dropped Hubby off at his dialysis clinic, then went shopping to kill some time until I picked him up again. Went out to dinner, then settled in for a quiet evening of recovery at the hotel.

Flew out of Palm Beach International, with a changeover in Charlotte, making the second half of the trip quite long, but we had a couple of nice meals, and I watched about half a movie, figuring I could watch the rest of it on the second flight, but the second flight didn’t have any individual screens, and no power for my computer, so I couldn’t finish it. It’s a long day traveling all the way across country, even in first class, and we were well and truly tired by the time we got to the hotel.

Another Monday, another day of dialysis, combined with packing and preparing for a business trip to Las Vegas for the week, starting tomorrow. Had a great night’s sleep, though, after all my weekend exertions!

Spent the day today getting ready for the big ride this weekend. I hooked the small horse trailer up to the truck and got everything loaded into that I needed. Fortunately, we’ve used up just enough hay in the back to make room for one horse, so that’s not a problem. I had a hard time finding out exactly where the overnight camping spot was going to be, there was nothing on any of the websites are associated Facebook pages about which campground at JW Corbett WMA was going to be the one where we were going to stop for the day. We had already gotten a couple of mis-starts on that information, first believing it was at the nature conservation camp area, then somewhere along the line we got the impression it was campsite G, until we finally, through frantic messaging with the organizers, it was confirmed to be camp area I. It shouldn’t have been that much of a mystery, and it doesn’t bode too well for the rest of organizer’s skills, but we’ll wait and see. We had already taken a drive down to Campsite G, so we knew it was just beyond that. We wanted to see how long it would take, since Hubby was going to be driving the truck and trailer on his own (something he hasn’t done for months) and we needed to still be at his dialysis chair by 3:00, so time was a consideration in everything. If all goes well, though, we should make it okay!

Managed to get an early chair time for Hubby’s dialysis, so I was able to drop him off, do a little running around, and still get to my weekly euchre game at the community center. I ran up to Port St. Lucie to a feed store up there that had some oral B-12 for horses, to give to Flash during the trail ride this weekend, if he needs it. The rest of the day was just another mundane day!

Last month during dialysis I met a woman named Cathy whose husband was suffering from a sudden onset of kidney failure, and she was interested in hearing more about my experience with home dialysis, so after we got our husbands set up in-center, we headed over to Carson’s Tavern nearby, where we sat outside with Lola and enjoy a nice nosh and a Guinness on tap and chatted all about dialysis and other life stories. It was a nice way to pass the time, and she seemed to appreciate the information, which I was happy to share. Another late evening though, as Hubby’s 3:00 chair time means we don’t usually get home before 8:00, just in time for mosquito hour and getting eaten alive while putting away and feeding the horses. Looking forward to getting back to home hemodialysis, and saving myself two hours of driving 3 days a week!

Dropped a book order off at the mailbox, got some For Sale signs for the old travel trailer ready until I couldn’t find any staples for the staple gun, dropped Hubby off at the dialysis center, went to my weekly Euchre game, picked up a few things at the Walmart, then headed back to the dialysis center to wait for Hubby. Managed to get caught up on the blog while I waited. It seems I keep getting behind, no matter how hard I try, things just get in the way! I’ll keep trying, though!

Brought Lola along again, with Hubby getting an early chair time, so just another mundane day!

Decided to bring Lola with us today, dropping off Hubby at the dialysis center, and then taking Lola down to Walmart for shopping. then out to the Haney Park Dog Park, where we had ourselves a good time! A good way to end the week!
