Well today really sucked a lot. I got into dialysis early so managed to come off the machine at noon. One of my needle exit sites just kept bleeding. My INR was low at 1.8 and I no longer have any anticoagulants when on the machine.
I was there until 2pm or a little after. Maybe a new record, I set so many I can't keep track. Eventually my arm stopped bleeding and I could leave. I travel with a clamp on my arm as I drive a manual. I'm home now and all seems well.
A place for most of the stuff that escape my brain - stuff on dialysis, kidney disease, Linux and open source software, the environment, social issues and more. A blog by Kylie Davies.

Update on online website and app testing platforms
So I'm now getting into this a lot. This is all I am doing to keep myself busy now. After breaking both my wrists (one after each other), I'm now back to almost normal typing again.
I've been in several test cycles on utest and have been paid. Paid for test cases and for finding bugs! Utest is definitely my favourite platform. It is run by Applause. I have even performed a usability test cycle using my Linux platform and the Chromium browser. See https://www.utest.com for more info, feel free to use my referral link if you think you might sign up - https://www.utest.com/ref336271
Another platform I signed up to is Australian based Crowdsprint. I'm doing my first official test cycle at the moment. See https://crowdsprint.com/ for more info.
Crowdsprint pay for test cases and for bugs. My first test cycle is a bug only finding project. Test cases were available but only for specific devices. Even though they seem to be registered in Melbourne, payments are advised in USD.
On one of the sites, Test Birds, I have been able to refer a friend to one of the projects. If they successfully complete the project, I will get a bonus payment. Here is my general referral link for Test Birds. Not sure exactly what this gets me, possibly just community points. https://nest.testbirds.com/?t=05f3e8b1-9f76-4b9a-a185-1f97b8fe8de9#tester

I will post updates on this topic from time to time.
