Channel Man Stan is undergoing dialysis at this very moment. The doctors wanted to wait for a few days before trying to remove excess fluids from his system using the dialysis machine, but decided that he couldn't wait until then because of his declining blood oxygenation situation. The downside to this is that dialysis tends to drop the patients blood pressure, and Stan can't afford that right now. The doctors will be ready to quickly administer norepinephrine during the dialysis treatment to elevate his blood pressure if necessary. The dialysis session is expected to be finished at 5:00 PM.
About Me
We are into our 59th year on the South Channel. About 35 years at our present location, where every thing that moves on the South Channel passes our doorstep. The cottage is a work in progress, hand built by us from scratch. Before building on a lot puchased from The Archers, now Craganmor Point, we leased an Archer cottage for about ten years. We spent our earlier years at the family cottage located at the western tip of Seven Mile Bay. We feel very fortunate that we can spend six months of the year living on the channel.
