Good week. Energy is better, BP steady, no swelling.

Felt wiped out after dialysis nights this week. Hemoglobin was lower, doctor said keep the weekly injection going.

Exit site looks clean. Nurse showed me a better way to tape the catheter so it stops tugging.

Drain bag looked cloudy this morning. Called the PD nurse right away and took a sample in. Cell count was fine, no infection. Relief.

Caught a cold, stayed in bed. Skipped logging for a couple of days, sorry. Fever gone now.

Swelling going down, weight back toward normal. Keeping salt low and watching fluids.

Ankles puffy and my rings feel tight. Used the 2.5% bag more this week.

Itch almost gone. Sleeping through the night again.

6/16/2026, 7:00:00 PM

Itching a bit better since the sevelamer increase. Still bad some evenings.

6/9/2026, 7:00:00 PM

Itchy again. Clinic says phosphorus is high, sevelamer going up to 1200mg. Trying to cut back on cheese and cola.

6/5/2026, 7:00:00 PM

Skin on my arms and back is really itchy today, worse at night. Scratching in my sleep.

Away at my sister's. Did manual exchanges with the bags I brought, so nothing in the cycler log for those nights.

5/18/2026, 7:00:00 PM

Drain was slow two nights in a row. Checked for kinks in the line, found one under the pillow. Fixed.

5/6/2026, 7:00:00 PM

Cramps in my calves around 4am. Drank a glass of water and they eased off. Mentioned it in the log.

First week back on the cycler after training. Alarms at night but I'm getting the hang of silencing them.
