So I painted death's door black...it was RED
Journal Entry | 2 minutes ago

Eight days/nine nights ago Will saved my life again. I had been not feeling well for about a week before with my face swelling up, my hands and toes during into little puff pockets and my belly expanding to a six months preggo size. I finally called the nurse practitioner for my gyno/onco doc when my lips started going numb and hot baths were no longer easing any of my pain. When I told her what all was happening she hollered at me, "I don't care if you go to Ben Taub or any other hospital but you need to get to an ER RIGHT NOW!"

Holy shit. I hate the fucking ER. I always get put low on the priority list at the ER. NOT THIS TIME! This time they did the triage and flipped the fuck out! I maybe had to wait ten minutes before they took me to the shock room. Then the real fun began!

Turns out my ONLY kidney had begun to fail! My kreatin [sp?] levels were about 18 times higher then normal!! They did an emergency operation where a tube from my kidney now goes to a plastic bladder out of my back for me to pee! [Immediately following what they referred to as "temp dialysis"!!] They began pumping fluids and assorted drugs into me and put me in a room with three other people.

Sharing a hospital room divided by curtains is AWFUL. It drove me nuts! Luckily one of the admin people saw me flipping out and managed to get me a private room for the second half of my stay. The service wasn't as attentive once I got it, but the solitude was worth having to wait a few extra minutes for medications and what not.

The stress of this also had a huge affect on my heart. I developed tachycardia! They gave me two bags of blood a few days ago to improve this and have me on iron pills too. Seems the life long struggle with anemia is still an issue as well. Suffice to say, I was VERY SICK.

Changes resulting from the past week:
*Now on quick release morphine for pain as needed. Light dose and only really needed about once or twice a day. Trying to avoid it when possible so to avoid a hard detox later on.
*Managed to get some social work assistance so hopefully they can help with things
*Have to take miralax and dulcolase twice a day, but did manage to poop [and I am not kidding here] ten times today alone.
*A little weight gained and a hunger for food returned.
*Moving VERY SLOWLY. Still very dizzy and get nausea very easily

So that's the scoop. Probably more information then many of you want, but there it is...Oh and our phone is off so if you want to reach me you have to leave a note here, lv M
