Irene was unable to get dialysis treatment today because of another needle infiltration early on in the process.  The photograph depicts her arm after she’s iced it all afternoon.  Her head is pounding from a massive headache and the nausea rages.

Since she’s now gone without dialysis Saturday, Sunday, Monday, she’s going for treatment tomorrow morning at 6.45 a.m., then back again on Wednesday.

This isn’t the way she had planned her week.

Thanks for caring,

Dave

Jocelyn and Jordan married today at Mount Hermon Christian Conference Center.  About 55 people attended the intimate chapel setting.  After a dinner reception, Jocelyn and Jordan are now honeymooning in Cabo San Lucas.

Jack Cauwels officiated, pictured above with his bride, Phyllis, and my parents, Joe and Myrna Dias.

Thanks for checking in.

Irene’s NAUSEA is RAGING this evening at an 8-9 on a 1-10 scale.  She’s extremely FATIGUED following dialysis and is trying to find a comfortable position…obviously complicated by her broken wrist which she tries to elevate to minimize the throbbing during the healing process. Her head is pounding with a massive headache.

Hoping for a full recovery tomorrow.

Thanks for caring,
Dave
