Blood pressure up and down.

I didn't post a Journal last night because I didn't feel safe standing up to cross the room. 
The previous day my blood pressure had been really low. But by the end of dialysis yesterday it was up over 170-odd, and I could hear my heartbeat squidging through my ears really loudly after I had climbed the stairs. 
Again, my blood was too thick for an easy dialysis. And the only way they could get the machine to work at all was to lie me back with my legs up in the air. 
And, generally, I just felt like crap. 
I had to use a wheelchair to get to and from the dialysis ward. 
Today, my blood pressure still "feels" a little high, but it's settling down nicely. 
I watched "24", "Orphan Black", "Nurse Jackie" and half of "Mock the Week" on my tablet, and "Wallander" when I got home.
