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.

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..

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!

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!
