I was up early today - had to be at plasma for 8.30 so that they could fit another patient in after me. Had a bad headache after dialysis last night - not sure if I am to dry or perhaps linked to hb. Woke up and it had gone.
Had about 9 tubes of blood done for the cross matching (it's that time of week.) Apart from that Plasma went fine - at the end during rinse back I tasted the citrate and also felt flushed interestingly my temp want from 36.5 to 37.1 over half an hour. I am sure I had a minor reaction.
Had an email from the Doc explaining his latest thinking and how they are trying to prove things. It will be interesting what the results show today.
The fundraising is going well. We have reached over a £1000 that is brilliant- a massive thank you to everyone who has donated, told people about the idea or both. The idea also seems to be working in which friends of friends are spreading the word. This is so good - it makes me excited.
If you are reading this blog for the first time. Visit www.justgiving.com/amillionthanks to find out about our fundraising effort.
The popularity of this blog has grown rapidly over the past week which makes it feel more worthwhile recording my thoughts and experiences.
Will post more later. If you any questions or comments please leave them below.

Polly wants to know. What does citrate taste like? Is it better than Chardonay? Wayne
Wayne and Polly,
Thank you so much for the donation. Citrate tastes like metal all through your mouth. Have you ever tasted a metal key - well that is citrate plus you get this tingling all over you mouth and sometimes in your hands and feet.
Love to the family.
Ian
