Little Update on my kidney

[28bringinthewood]

I had a hip replacement on Tuesday, April 28th..... you will read the rest shortly.......................


Well...thy have lowered my Prograf from 4 in the AM and 4 in the PM to 1 in the AM and 1 in the PM. They have a good idea that I had toxic levels of Prograf (antirejection meds) in my system. This has been a very scary ordeal for me. I have just wanted to put my face in my hands and bawl.... I can't believe this is happening! I don't understand

My hip surgery went well. I have gotten better and better every day with my hip. I can finally allllmost take a good step with pressure on the right side. My other hip and my knees don't hurt at all anymore which is great!

Tuesday after surgery, I knew something was wrong. I started running fever (my fever went as high as 104.8!!!). At the same time, my creatinine went to 2.23 (yep I freakkked out). The next day I noticed I was not producing enough urine. We did labs again and they sent me to dialysis. I asked my nephrologist about my latest creatinine and he advised that it was over 5. I wanted to scream and beat on something. So far, the highest my creatinine has gotten was 5.75..... ya know..... dialysis sux!

So far, I have done 2 dialysis sessions..... that is two to many! I was actually getting down on myself, and in walked my donor!!! Excuse my language but she said...."get your damn head up! We kicked this kidney failure bs once, and were gonna do it again!" It was so wonderful to see her!!!! It instantly made me feel better! She said "your a figher damnit!! I'm here to woop some *** with you"

Thats what I plan on doing.... whoopin this ***... It aint gonna get me down.

Prayers would be greatly appreciated

I was about to suggest that you continue hanging tough, apparently you've gotten that message... don't despair, please don't despair... I think it was pretty predictable that your recovery would have its ups and downs, but of course I understand that you've been through so much that you can't help but get down from time to time... being sick sucks...

As the Indian chief in "Outlaw Josey Wales" memorably said, "you must endeavor to persevere"... truer words could not be spoken in this situation...

C'mon, gang, let's all give the lady a pep talk... let her know we're behind her... I think she deserves it, and it might be just what she needs...

Keep your chin up. You've come to far.

Without a doubt...

Like Bear said, you're gonna have your ups and downs, but you can beat it. The board is pulling for you, lady. Take care of yourself.
