Oof. It would be hilarious to try and take the bus to the Amtrak station in the city in which I live, go up one station to the city in which the dialysis center is located, take the bus to dialysis, have my dialysis, then go back. I'm not sure I could do that in a single day. Certainly not my chair time of 6:00am. But let's see:

Well, alright. Actually, Amtrak ticket would be $11, which is not bad. And while the ride would be 4:21am-4:20am, I wouldn't be able to get a bus until 6:00, getting to dialysis 25 minutes late.

The first obstacle is that I would have to leave my apartment for the Amtrak station at 11:30pm the previous day, as service doesn't run in the middle of the night.
