Suffering from kidney failure, Still in hospital
10 years ago
Just giving a quick update now that I feel well enough to actually type an update here.
On Sunday 7/19/2015 I was brought into the ER high fever, nausea vomiting, ect. My kidneys stopping their proper function was just part of it. This new cancer treatment I am on is causing lots horrible side effects that should be very rare.
It seams that my own immune system is attacking things now that it shouldn't be; my kidneys being one of them. I had a renal dialysis catheter port installed in my left side chest and literally before grogginess wore off from that surgery I was already hooked up to my first dialysis treatment.
Doctors are hopeful that my kidneys will heal themselves, fore the mean time I will need dialysis treatment at least 3 days a week. Pretty depressed about this, but I am still fighting along. Just so sick of being stuck in the hospital, but I maybe well enough to return home tomorrow afternoon.
Also I wanted to mention I still have every intention of attending Furry Migration next month. Just really hoping nothing else happens to get in the way of that.
And before I sign off I want to thank everyone again. I have the most amazing friends, it is you that help keep me strong.
