01Apr26:waiting to sign tax papers…

People on dialysis have a fatigue wall set in that is so intense, uncomfortable,
that the only “cure” is to find a bed and sleep it off.
While waiting for my tax preparer to bring my2025 tax paperwork over to sign, I accidentally snapped a photo of me going over to the fatigue wall. That started around 3:15 yesterday afternoon. I fought it several hours, all afternoon till the papers arrived at…never.

Did I take this? Must have. No one else here. 6:36 pm.

Where’s my kitty? We need kitty “stuff” in here

=(^+^)=

I set my cup of ice water on the floor so I could reattach some oxygen lines.
Andy helped himself.
I was going to take some extra strength Tylenol with that water.
Perhaps not now…
Geez! Still waiting.  Tylenol. Need it bad.
Cats!
Tax preparers!! I   tried Tylenol, ice, opening a window on the door enough to let in icey air. I’m starting to have visual disturbances. I think it’s time to call this off and make an appointment at their shop. I’d hate to be the one pushing a total of a  117 kilo man plus  wheelchair up their entrance, but I can’t die waiting for someone who comes over, if at all, so long after the fatigue wall sets it. If you haven’t experienced it, you can’t appreciate how much it takes to try to stay awake hours after it sets in.
Not fun. Not fun. Five hours

  1. I don’t do dialysis but I thoroughly understand the fatigue wall. When I get it, I’m like a little kid. I could curl up and nap right where I am. It’s too bad the tax folks didn’t give you a time or a call with a more precise time. Hope they didn’t forget you.

  2. Doug… definitely feel for you… and understand.. about that fatigue wall… it is not a ‘tired’ or ‘exhausted’… those would be walks in the park! Glad Andy enjoyed the water… we always are happy when he’s happy. Hugs to you both…
