Next Step(s)

I have been released from the hospital. I am going to go home and continue doing what I have been doing... I am going to do dialysis from home for a few days, and this Thursday I will check in with Plumb and see how I am doing. The thing that bothers me the most, is that one person says, "this isn't working" another says, "let's try this" then even another will say, "what do you think?!?". It is at that point I stop listening and make sure Patti and Lolly are around.

So, lets break down the latest information.... I came to the hospital on Friday with extremely high levels of Calicum (15), normal is about 8. Due to those high/toxic levels, they inserted a catherter in my neck and performed Hemodialysis, which is where the blood is literally taken out of my body and then cleaned. Hemodialysis was performed for two days and got be better, back to my old self. Last night I was hooked up to the PD machine, the same one I use at home. The doctors said that nothing looked bad, and the best option(s) would be to continue as I was before, and if numbers get bad over the next few days, I would have to plan the next step. The doctor said, "just prepare for the next step to be going back to Hemodialysis".

Well, we wait and see. Hopefully I had a flook and it will fix itself, but I am prepared to meet whatever happens next. I mean come on, a Kidney has to be close, right?!?

August 28... KC people... be there or be dead!! :) Anyone who wants to golf, contact Angela Kreps via Facebook or email. She is signing foursomes up!!! Again, thanks for support and prayers.
