The dialysis environment is super clean. |
So, Dan's wild & crazy week turns out not to be so much.
I had to get tested for the coronavirus because there were two warning signs of three that are used: shortness of breath and persistent dry cough (the third is fever).
The test results came back Tuesday (I was told it could be up to ten days) -- before I ever even went to my alternative treatment center.
The Plainfield director asked if I would just rather come to Plainfield on an altered schedule. No problema!
All of this was out of an abundance of caution on DaVita's part. All dialysis patients have compromised immune systems.
Infections of all sorts are a constant risk -- so the coronavirus only heightens the attention already paid to these matters.
Our chairs -- which are about 8' apart -- are wiped down with each use. Everyone wears masks and gloves, changing gloves after every function they perform. These are habits that become invisible, but they protect patients and staff.
I am thankful to DaVita for their thoroughness. And thanks to the many well-wishers who gave encouraging words.
Now, back to business.
