well, last night i had another port placed in my neck. The beasts of medical professionals completed such a task, in my bed, in my room. Anyway, this port is short term, and placed it in order to get my levels "back to somewhat normal". Due to PD Dialysis not working as well as they hoped, they put me on Hemodialysis. Which is the form I did at the clinic, 3x a week. They said that the PD way wasn't cleaning my blood as well as they had hoped, and needed to solve the problem quickly. They did. Once I was on the machine for an hour, I was already feeeling better. Today was another day of Hemodialysis and I "ran" for 4 hours to help clean my blood and get me back to normal.
The reason the believe that PD isn't working is becuase my "membrane" isn't working like it should. What that means is that when the fluid "dwells" in my body, it isn't cleaning the blood as well as it should. Hence being tired, weak, and sick as hell. This has been happening for a few weeks, but my body had just stopped being able to fight. So when I did the "old form" I felt much better and was able to keep food down. I guess this is a crossroads that I have come to, and I hope answering questions will be easy. This does get tiring, this does become frustrating, but I care about too many people to stop fighting, I just need decisions to be made much easier...
I should be able to get out sometime this week. Tomorrow night, (sunday) I am going to complete the PD Dialysis. The doctors will then take blood Monday and see what may or may not have happened. We shall see.
Thanks for the prayers, and thoughts, I really am greatful to have such wonderful support.
Love ya Megan! ~Jeni
