A Moment of My Time

It is Tuesday, September 17, 2019.  I have been busy working/writing on another blog by writing in longhand because I am doing some research and taking time by making sure I have my thoughts in order and facts correct.  It is like writing a paper for a class in a proper paper format.  I WANT it to be done correctly.  I began writing the blog on September 14, 2019.  I am taking a moment of my time to say something about being busy working on another blog because it has been a while since I have posted something about God and the love He. has for everyone.  I now have Grammarly to help me with the sentences, wording, and I also use Citation Machine online for writing in proper paper format.  There are two proper ways to write a paper that I know of.  Those proper ways are APA and MLA.  I am glad Microsoft Word has APA paper format built into the program.  I have to for now and I will be back soon.

Update - Morning

Hello, good morning, and welcome to another wonderful day/blog.  I do not have a lot of time this morning to write a long blog because I have personal cares from 7 AM to 9 AM, and around 8:30 AM I have dialysis treatment for 3 ½ hours this morning and afternoon.   I know I have not written in a blog for a month, and I do not have an excuse. I did have a rough month in August when it came to dialysis treatment, and I had my catheter replaced because the first one stopped working correctly.  A week before I had the procedure to have the catheter replaced, I could only dialyze an hour each dialysis day before the machine beeped so many times because the arterial/venous lines would become problematic.  I have learned that my blood is thick while my blood clotted the graft that was placed in July 2019 a week after it was placed in the right arm.  I have been put on Warfarin, and now my nephrologist, nurses at the dialysis center, and dialysis technicians are making sure that my INR/PROTIME numbers during blood tests each week on Thursdays is looked into to administer the proper dose of Warfarin each week is working properly.  I have been told that I have been put on the drug for six months but that can change as time moves forward.
            Despite how dialysis has been going since the new catheter has been placed, I do have to admit that allowing God to direct me on how my life goes each day still continues without too much conflicts of the mind these days.  I am going with the flow as time passes.  I am getting better at letting life play whatever the day brings. I did get very frustrated in August because of dialysis treatment being problematic for a few days, but the doctors and nurses told me that dialysis catheters are tricky pieces of machinery at times.  I won’t argue about that.  I pray and thank God for a very good dialysis day each day.  I also have to say that I have been frustrated for another reason as well, but that will have to wait for another blog.  I have to get ready for my day in a few minutes.  I promise to be back when I get home from dialysis.  Goodbye for now and do have a good morning.
