Busy little bees

Oh my gosh, this month is so busy. Mom and dad will be closing on this house, and on the new house, and we will be moving shortly after. Mom gets her port put in and starts treatment. Joey is on call. Then Joey is on vacation. Thanksgiving speaks for itself. I have 3 doctors appointments. One is in Indy, so we will kill two birds and hit up the Keystone Fashion Mall to buy a wedding present. I have two Soliris treatments, we move things into storage, Christmas shop. I have to go to Frankfort at some point to pick up my 31 stuff. We had to sit down as a family and write up the calendar so we all know who's doing what and when. I have always liked being busy. I'm thankful I have the energy these days (mostly) to appreciate the busy times. If we all make it through this month without bumps or bruises I will be impressed.
So, my peritoneal dialysis has  been really hit and miss these days. I'll have a great manual day, but then that night when trying to use the cycler it'll alarm all night and I'll have to give up and unhook. Which means I have to do manual the next day too to catch up. And then sometimes both manual and cycler are rough for a couple of days. Then I start to get puffy and swollen, and know I have way to much fluid on me. But the only way to fix it is to drain, which is what got me into trouble in the first place. It's a little bit uncontrollable. And that unnerves me.
Speaking of, it's time to hook up. Praying the cycler and I are friends tonight...
