The new normal

The Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) nurse is here today running Mom through her first manual dialysis exchange.  I’m off work today to help out.  At the moment I am mostly helping out by staying out of the way in the other room, but I think I may come in handy later.  It’s been a big build up to this day and we’re both relieved that it’s finally happening so we can adjust to whatever the new normal will be.  Also, Mom should be feeling better once the dialysis has had a chance to work.  That will be a good thing, too.

In the meantime, they also serve who only stand and wait…

ETA: Mom came through the exchange like a champ.  Let the new normal begin.
