Recap of Past Couple of Days

Thurs 6/11- Still in the hospital, the Renal Doctors were closely watching the Creatinine function and weening me off of all of the fluids

Fri 6/12- Renal Doctors content with sending me home with the Creatinine function still high but stabilizing

Sat 6/13- Had to attend the Urgent Care Unit per the discharge nurses requests, drew labs and they said that everything looked 'OK' for the day, although they knew we were coming back tomorrow

Sun 6/14- Had to attend the Urgent Care Unit per the discharge nurses, today I required to get a bag of fluids, a bag of platelets, and a bag of magnesium at the request of my doctor. Again, he urges me to drink a lot of fluids (preferably 3 liters or more).

Mon 6/15- At the doctors office for a visit with the nurse. This pretty much brings you up to speed as to what's going on with the treatment.

Hope everyone has a good day.

  3. Hi John....sure have been thinking about you a lot lately. Hoping the creatinine numbers level off and stops giving those renal dudes the fits. It's been my experience that these kidneys of ours can be nasty, mean little sh&ts....like the ornery kid-next door neighbor type that won't stop throwing rotten apples at your garage! Hope you get back to Hope Lodge soon! - Jude
