Dear Diary: We arrived Early But I Had A Blood Infection While Hooked-up And Now I Feel Feverish
I am a bit tired right now and not as usual where I could still work after dialysis. The reason is that a few minutes before termination my BP went so low and although it is usual but this time my blood pressure went as low as 40/60 which is too low for me to endure.
Sometimes I could still endure low BP at around 80 so I do not notify the nurses. What could be the reason for such so low BP values? Well nearing the end of my termination I am feeling pain in my right thumb and I was feeling restless and getting the shivers already.
It is a classic sign of blood infection due to dirty water, or dialysis things that I use like the dialyzer. But I am fortunate not to get t=a major chills otherwise we could go home late.
Now I am just recuperating and I did took some paracetamol because my body is having a high temperature plus pain all over my body. It sucks but nonetheless am happy and contented that I had a dialysis this say.

A blood infection? This is so scary. What are your nurses doing about this?
