I had intended to get a short ride in today before dialysis, but I uncharacteristically slept until 9:30 this morning, so by the time I got my chores done and Hubby got up, it was too late to do much. Frankly, I was afraid of going out for an hour ride and ending up getting lost for an extra hour or more like last time, so I decided to skip it for now. I ended up chatting with some of the other ladies here, though frankly, this place was incredibly quiet, not one single horse was in the place besides ours! We thought it would be more crowded on the weekend, particularly since the weather has been perfect for the last few days, but it was very quiet here. I put up a small corral at the front of the trailer, because the grass is so long and I’m concerned if the ground doesn’t dry up enough we’re going to get stuck trying to get out next week, so I wanted to get my four-legged lawn mowers on it to shorten it up. Of course, they did a marvelous job, but I was also concerned about staying within the bounds of the rules. Almost everyone I’ve met here hasn’t seemed to mind we’re taking a bit of license, with the exception of the one woman on the board who made a little fuss earlier in the week, but even she came over and apologized to me today, so I guess we’re all good now. Hubby felt good enough to walk out and sit in a chair in the shade and throw the ball for Lola for half an hour, so he was definitely feeling better. We started dialysis, however, and by the end of the session, he was feeling quite poorly again, not sure why but it really weakened him by the end of the session. One of the things we discussed with Karen yesterday is the possibility we might be “over-dialyzing” him, as his blood clearance seems to be almost too much now, so it’s possible after our last labs, if they continue to show that problem, we may be able to actually shorten his dialysis time, which could help with his weakness. We’ll know better in a few days, hoping for the best! Meanwhile, we watched a couple of old classic movies while settling in for the evening.
