Are you eating properly now Chris?  Why all this lightheadedness and lying on the floor  ???
Hopefully you aren't admitted again, is that the right way to hope?  I know Gregory will usually prefer to stay out of hospital but it depends on his state of health.
Big love  :cuddle;

No not dumb, but it is more like am I eating the way I am use to natnnnat.
 
I am drinking 64 oz bottles of juice along with other fluids, but stopped drinking  Ensure products, but still getting dizzy. I attempted to do some house cleaning on one floor only, but had to sit or lay down. Laid down outside with both dogs for a bit to.

Cass, I have to look for one of those shopping trollies online, I was talking to my mom about how they use to sell them in the grocery stores a few days ago because it was mentioned on a facebook page for guide dog users. I do not see them around where I am or taken to now days.
 
billybags, I prettymuch do everything on my own. My dad will not go, but that is what I like anyway. He doesn't like sitting around. My mom will go to local doctors since she is driving me, but will not go downtown with me, yet complains she hasn't been there in years :urcrazy; ??? , It's not like she has to sit there and wait, there are plenty of things to walk to in the city, but she will not  take the bus which would get her to more places. :banghead;  This from a person who use to work downtown all the time!
 
In the end it is better for me and relaxing to be on my own. When I am feeling bad, I just push myself to get there. I have done that many times and have been admitteds after seeing the doc or transplant clinic.

Went to doc in city for follow up and concerns Monday. Went for labs and back to office for results, collapsed on doc, sent down to ER at 2:30 pm, seen in ER 12 hrs later (long story), transferred to hospital room Tuesday after 7 am, Stress test done and cancelled due to bp, anemic more than usual, some other lab level extremely low and they are looking for initial cause of that. Nonstop hiccups since lunch Wednesday making things worse, CT scan today, stress test to be redone, not going home soon and this is the short short version!

I'm so sorry to hear you're still not feeling well, Chris. It's really been a tough year for a lot of IHDers. I hope you'll be better again soon.

More of this falling down / having to lie down business.  I hope they can work out what is going on.

Reminds me of my father in law!  You take him somewhere, as soon as we get there he wants to come home.  And he gets annoyed with crowds, all the people in the way.  Pretty funny considering he doesn't move that quickly himself.   When we go to visit Gregory if he's in hospital, Don always wants to come, but doesn't want to stay, and its a long drive home.  I make him bring his crossword puzzle book and a novel.   ;)

The docs are taking one problem at a time, but new ones pop up. BP has stayed in 150's all day Thursday and at 1:50 am it was 173 something and dizziness has not subsided. I wonder if bp and dizziness correlate when bp is elevated. My biggest fear right now is with my kidney and constant high bp. Vision is worse off to even higher zoom on iPhone not helping, still blurry.


This is the concerned/ worried I have been since by transplant 13 yrs ago. I feel like I am going to loose the kidney or both kidney and pancreas due to this.


Still gonna try to be a smartass though if I can be in the mood to do so.

Morning did not start well. Shift change and me waking up set off medical scare. Severe nausea, dizziness start after new nurse comes to introduce herself. She comes back quick after call light is pressed and has my zofran, then severe chills and shakes begin, doctor called in asap, temp & bp checked, blood cultures ordered, urine sample ordered, IV fluids started. BP 179, temp 98.7 after being 96.3 all day Thursday, so doc suspects infection or med reaction possibly from prednisone. Two hours later a urine sample finally could be collected, bp down to 145, so rest is all I can do. Worn out due to shakes, nausea, and breathing, but have not seen 1 doctor since this began. Feels like they went home for the weekend already and it is already past 4:30 pm!

I have had several issues with kidney function due to various health issues in the hospital and within the last year a half issues with pancreas numbers. I do not know how much more they can take, thus my concern.


Another concern they have is me not having a bowel movement, no feeling to need to go, I have eaten at times, but 6 days without anything has added more to their plate of things to check into.
Haven't gotten up yet so I am hoping that I do not have a third day of bizarre morning medical issues to make nurses run for help.
