Well, after a night of rumination, I decided that I wasn’t about to let my Open Range go for half price just so the RV dealer could make $2000, figuring that even though the value will drop a bit next year, it won’t be a 50% drop, so I should still be able to make some money next year. Anyway, it seemed we wouldn’t be getting our digital dialysis machine, so we ran up to Stuart and picked up the analog one, then headed down to Hobe Sound to pick up the trailer and bring it back to Jeff’s. He and his girlfriend had just gotten back from their mini-vacation, and was just as surprised to see the trailer come back as he had seen that it was gone earlier when they arrived! With his help, we got the dialysis machine in the Trailrider, got it set up, and had our first dialysis with new machine. Everything went well until the last half hour, when we had a venous error that cut it short (which I think I caused when I accidentally knelt on a line trying to get something out of a top cupboard), but otherwise everything went well, except I realized there was some kind of settings that weren’t right, so I turned on the old machine, wrote down all the settings, and reset the new machine exactly according to old machine’s settings. So tomorrow, it should all match up with what I’m used to, and we can get back to Home Hemo Normal!
