Just got out of the hospital...

[vivisfab]

Hey all, I feel like ranting. I just got out of the hospital  a few days ago. I've been treated for peritonitis. Shortly after I developed a weird rash. It spread all over my body. When I went to the hospital, they said I was septic. I was vomiting, fever, rash all over my body (hives), and a uti to top it all off. They think I am either allergic to the vancomycin i've been treated with or worst case scenario...I've developed an allergy to the dialysate. If it is the latter, I would have to change to hemo. Going to the neph on mon to get my vanco levels tested. I'm seriously bummed out. I try to keep a positive attitude but it is hard when you feel like you can never catch a break. I hate having kidney failure. I miss my old life. Thanks for listening.

Man, you've been through lots, I hope and pray things will turn out OK for you.

Thinking of you and hoping for better days ahead, vivisfab.  It really can get to seem as though there's always something...not a fun roller coaster.

Kidney disease is a bummer!!! I'ts rotten and it's not fair. All we can do is battle on and share our feelings with our friends on IHD. We understand and we care.
