Another delay, almost. Today I get the news that Nxstage is not releasing new machines to any new patients until they get this problem with the leaks fixed. I'm cool with that but what does it mean to me? Well, it means that the machine they ordered for me last week won't be coming. And so, that means that the only way I can go ahead and get trained is to go to Med Center. Fine with me. I'm just glad that they gave me some options. When they pulled those chairs up to me I just knew that they were going to say that Nxstage just ended the program and that there was nothing that I could do about it. So, when they said that I could just go to Med Center, I was relieved. I'm not excited about going to an unfamiliar place for training, but I'm going. To tell the truth, the people at this other center have been training people for years on this machine. It's probaly to my advantage to be going there for training. the other good thing is that one of the Nurse's will be going with me. That will make me a little more comfortable.

This brings me to another thought though. I am a private person. There has been nothing private about this last 5 months. But that is the reason that I am so eager to get home. I feel that once I am home, I won't have all of these strange people probing around in my life. At least not like this .

Overall though, I think this is good news. I think this is really where God wants me to be right now. I mean I am consistently sticking my venous bh now and I am a lot faster than I was 2 weeks ago. They even fixed the ongoing problem with my hemoglobin.

3 MORE DAY Saturday-Tuesday-Thursday

Now that they have changed the site, I am not sure what else is going to change, but they will have to let me know before they go on vacation. I guess I will have to call them tomorrow to see if they have any new infor.
