What are you waiting for?
Hey
Just came back from Docs... Kidney function has risen slightly ... not as fast or as high as he would like to have seen but it has gone up (y)
I am going back to lab tomorrow and will be monitored for the next Month at least closely
One thing I got totally wrong on last visit was I understood that my kidney function was at 60 % ...wrong I had lost 60% and was operation at 39%. I am kind of glad I did not know that earlier. Without a doubt emergecy dropped the ball and should have known this and NEVER had let me go home with that kind of loss but I guess screaming and yelling about this is not going to help me.The other thing I was told is to suffer this kind of kidney failure after an infection and or stones is not normal and highly unusual this was and is significant kidney failure.
I can already tell I am going to have a fight with my doctor making him understand I had been complaining about pain and discomfort in that exact kidney area for a very long time and that I still have it now and I want to be sent to a specialist. I think I will go to next appointment that is with a different Doc I really like and see if I can get him to listen a bit more. If that fails me Passions has already sent me a link to the Kidney foundation here that has a number I can call where a specialist will listen to my story and they themselves will give a referal if they think its needed and I will do that (see shes a big ball of fluff)
I am still very very tired .. the only food that interests me is slush drinks ice cream and of all things toast and cheese. Given time as function hopefully continues to improve this should as well.
there were some other minor things I need to watch out for and take care of because of the medication I was on but that falls under TMI TMI and you dont care :p
again now you know
xoxo
Helly out
