I managed one patient, from beginning to end, on my own today. I remembered everything....

That's pretty damn cool.

The process is starting to come together in my mind. I'm starting to remember everything, I'm starting to get things done in a quicker and more efficient manner.

I am still slower than the other girls, but that's to be expected. Dialysis, while simple in theory, is not so simple in fact. There's a lot of things to do, a lot of things to remember.

I'm finishing up week 7 this week. I have five more weeks before I start taking a full 4 chairs, 2 shifts a day at least. I'll be working 12s instead of 10s, so I'll come in during the middle of shift one and be there for the second and third shift of patients.

The point is this: Today is the first day that I've felt like I can do it.

God, it feels so good. smile

Things are going well at work. Things are going well at home. Things are going well with my family. Things are going well with my dear friends.

I have something to look forward to in September. It's nice to have something to look forward to. A visit after so long....it'll be so wonderful. ^.^ A full year after it started, we'll finally meet.

I know that there will always be not so good times. But times like these make those other kinds of times.....bearable.
