I tried to put it off, i at least made it thru my bday!, I was admitted yesterday, Ive had some tests done, so far we arent sure whats up, They said they think it could be Blood Clots in my lungs, or Emphysema, they did some more tests today. Maybe ill find out something. I was told I am not going home tonight either.
-
Oh no! Really? I sure hate to hear this. When do you think you will know something? Please keep us posted, OK? I hope you can get out of there soon! I'm so sorry that you are not well. :cuddle;
-
Oh gosh.
Many *huggles* ... get well soon!
And also, consider yourself *scolded* for putting it off!
-
I didnt want to spend my bday in the hospital :P
A doctor just came in and said something about the test being 80% neg, 20% possitive, for clots... what???????
So then he says we ae going to try to do this test, that they told me last night I shouldnt have because of the kidney failure.... because the dye cant be peed out.... oooook....
they confuse me.
-
they confuse me.
That's their job... ::)
-
Darn it!! I hate to hear this but i am glad they're recognizing that dyes are bad for the kidneys. Hubbys didnt seem to think about that when they shot dye through him a few years back while his kidneys were still holding out and unfortunatly, i hadnt known that at the time so failed him on that one :'( Anyway, im so sorry your there and precious son is at home missing you.. Im sure that's the hardest part of all of this. I hope and pray your outcome is favorable, and you'll be out soon and feeling better.................. And, :birthday; Hope you enjoyed it and it was special for you..
-
:birthday;
Hope you get diagnosed soon and they can start you on the road to recovery.
Get well soon Gothic.
-
Hope the doctors get it together and figure out how to treat what's ailing you! hope you are on the mend soon!

thank you fo the get wells and happy bdays :)
The worst part is missing my son, and i hear he was quite the little brat tonight, in my absence. I feel so terrible about it.
I wish I could breathe, and know why i cant breathe! They did that scan with the dye, havent got the results yet.
I did however get told they want to take my parathyroid gland out after thanksgiving.
-

Sorry to hear you are sick gothic, hope you feel better soon and the Drs. get this sorted out quickly.
-
Thinking about you. Get well soon.
-
Yeah, gothy, :birthday;. Get better real soon and back with your boy.
-
it sucks to be away from your family and home on your birthday - but worse to be stuck in the hospital undergoing tests and not being able to breathe properly. yikes. Hope they can sort you out really soon!!
:grouphug; :grouphug; :grouphug; :grouphug; :grouphug;
-
Get out of that hospital quickly! I hope things go well and the tests are gentle.
-
I just love when a dr wakes u up, talks really fast and walks away before u can even think....
I barely remember what he said... something like i have to get better control on my BP, and i have fluid on my heart, something about it not beating like it should....
-
Gosh that makes me mad!! Thats why i nearly always stay with hubby when he goes in so as between the two of us, we MAY catch what the Dr woke us up to tell us... So unreasonable.. I will say though, that the dr does stay around to put in his reports so if you can send a nurse, they usually can get the Dr to come back for an explanation... geesh!!
-
Aw Goth...that sucks. Ask the nurse to tell you what the dr. wrote in your chart. I'm wishing you a speedy recovery!
-
So GLM, what's the go? You back home or what's the story? Safe and well? Have to have your legs chopped off?
-
yikes I didnt realize i hadnt said whats up! (i could swear i did, maybe i didnt hit post????!!!??)
I am home now, i had pneumonia. He said when I first got to the hospital the xray didnt look as though i had it, but then they did a second one and it looks like i do... (what???????????????) and he said my heart is wearing out? I said What does this mean? He said its tired, its working too hard, because of the dialysis. I asked is there anything that can help this? He said ya, a transplant.... (crickets...... wtf?)
So ya, im a bit confused, one second i dont have pneumonia, then i do, and i have a sleepy heart, only cure is transplant? OOOOoooook?????????????
And I am having a parathyroidectomy at some point (i call monday to schedule)
Sorry that i fell off the planet with this post... not sure what happened....
-
This is what happened to Gregory: Pneumonia, then -ectomy. But they were sniffing around his thyroid, not parathyroid. And instead of tired heart, his kidney transplant was "a grotty old kidney". He was a bit miffed about that so I told him to imagine an old second hand car, could run another 10 years but no mechanic would tell you that.
But but but: why are you having a parathyroidectomy? Would the pneomonia be affecting the rest of your system and they should deal with that first? G's pneumonia affected his calcium and his kidney function, from what I could work out.
And the most important part, :cuddle;
I know you know this sucks. It does, suck a lot.
-
They are silly, i have told them countless times that I want Sensipar, and he prescribed it, and i guess my insurance wants him to contact him before they approve, ive told him this many many times, and he never does it, so now he tells me i need the parathyroidectomy.... i didnt want it at first, but now that ive been reading on here how great it worked out for all these folks, im wanting it! If it even alleviated an 1/8th of my pain, im in!
Ya, I asked why they didnt just do it whilest i was in the hospital, save me the trip, and finding childcare, but they said i had to be well, no pnuemonia etc...
:cuddle; Thank you i needed that!
-
Goth, so they would rather do an operation instead of trying tablets, which do work. :Kit n Stik; :Kit n Stik; :Kit n Stik; :Kit n Stik;
-
yes apparently so..
ive been on him about it for months now, and still havent gotten it sorted out. when i was in the hospital, he had a surgeon stop by and tlak to me about the parathyroidectomy... I was thinking, what the heck? i dont want to get cut on, when we could potentially use the pills....
-
Sensipar does work gothic!! Hubby has been taking them for about 3 months now and his parathyroid is going down!! I can't believe that the doc won't take the time to arrange for you to get them. It's a lot easier than surgery.
-
gothic thanks for the update...sorry to hear about the heart...that is scary isn't it? thinking of you..
xo,
