OK, so after everything I have written here for the past year and a half, this is going to seem a pretty extreme swing in the opposite direction...
After some considerable emotional urging from some people very close to me and a heartfelt plea from my daughter I've decided to give the process of dialysis another look.
Ugh.
As much as the whole deal just wigs me out, I am going to try to adapt because, quite frankly, the fuse is burning and my options are really beginning to narrow pretty quickly now.
There's a good bit to getting up and actually beginning this treatment, and so I am scheduled for my first day of "Dialysis Education" (doesn't this sound like fun?) on Tuesday.
I'll keep you all posted.
