How Is Sandra Coping?

Considering everything, Sandra is doing quite well. We have had a few scares. The drainage bag is supposed to be clear, or it could be a sign of peritonitis. A few times it has looked a bit cloudy, just enough to make us wonder if we should call the PD team. But so far it is more clear than cloudy. She has also noticed that she does not have to urinate as often she normally does. They are telling us that is normal, as the dialysis takes care of the wastes. A huge change is that her periods seems to have stopped. Which is upsetting for a young woman. Usually the periods stop before dialysis, but returns after dialysis is started. In Sandra's case it is reversed. Sandra still experience pain at times. Mostly, now it is because she forgets to drain the tube of air, and she ends up with severe pain in her shoulder for up to 24 hrs. That usually happens when she is rushed during an exchange. Like picking her daughter up from somewhere.
