Winter Arrives!

Winter has most certainly arrived... -5 to -15 below F for nighttime lows.  Just barely making it above zero for daytime highs.  Of course add in the 'wind' and your looking at -30F!  Hibernation time...nothing works quite right with these temps, just filling up your gas tank is a challenge.  On the bright side the days are slowly getting longer, the sun is getting warmer and there should only be about 2 months left before spring arrives!!!  From my point of view it can't get here quick enough.

Between getting ready for my dialysis treatments and actually doing the treatments, just been trying to get a few little things done.  Today was doing some vacuuming and dusting.  Got a heat vent that needs to be resized so it fits properly in the intended slot.  Keeping the humidifiers filled...sometimes seems like a full time job.  In between doing these things I need to gather supplies and get set up for treatment. 

 Well a little surprise today the SAK that I would normally use failed the conductivity test 3 times in a row (50L) only options is to drain it and use bags (5L) as it takes about 3 hours to drain and 5 hours to make a new SAK. Well let me tell you using the bags are no fun at all!  Much more of a pain to set up, why some people opt to use the bags all the time vs. having the Pureflow and using SAKs is beyond me, the Pureflow is sooooo much easier!
