So, I haven't been on here in a while, but I haven't had any new news to report until now. Saw the doc today. It was two weeks earlier than my regularly scheduled appointment, but just because my creatinine was very high, due to having the flu for 2 weeks. I was brought into the ER for IV fluids and potassium on Friday. Now, my creatinine is back to the upper 3 range, which is a lot better, but still not good. We talked about dialysis again. He asked me, frankly, if I wanted dialysis. I felt like saying "Of course not! But you keep pushing me, you *beep*", but I need him as a nephrologist, at least until I move this summer. I'm having more blood work and other tests done, as usual. If they look good, I can cancel my appointment with him for two weeks from now, and not see him for a month.
I'm doing something unusual with this update and going off script for just a bit. I'd like to dedicate this post to my good friend, Michael Lucart, who lost his mother earlier today. May she rest in peace.
