To all my dearest friends...

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Hi everyone...Sorry for not participating here as much...But more medical issues came up again...My Neuropathy in my feet and legs have gotten worse and one morning (about a week and a half ago) I woke up and my ankle hurt pretty bad...Which I thought was odd since I normally can't feel a thing...lol...Anyways, went to the clinic and after x-rays, we found out it wasn't broken, just severly sprained..So I was held up for that...Still have no clue as to how it happened or how I did it...It is better now and I'm walking as good as can be expected...
Then last weekend I woke up bloated...and I don't mean swollen in the feet or legs...My stomach blown up to the point where I looked 8 months pregnant...lol..My stomach was so tight...Went to the doctor again since I didn't think this was a normal thing...and found out that I gained 18 pounds in less then two weeks...OMG!...Anyways, they raised the amount of my water pill to try and get rid of the water...Yesterday I went back in and lost 8 pounds, which is great, but I am still huge...They ran a blood test for the Creanitine in my system...and it was super high..2.5 Now I just had blood work done last week and it was 2.0 Which was high then already...Normal range is .7 - 1.3 Now for the ones of you that don't know what Creanitine is...
Creatinine is mainly filtered by the kidney, though a small amount is actively secreted. There is little-to-no tubular reabsorption of creatinine. If the filtering of the kidney is deficient, blood levels rise. As a result, creatinine levels in blood and urine may be used to calculate the creatinine clearance(ClCr), which reflects the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The GFR is clinically important because it is a measurement of renal function.
So this could be a sign that at least one of my kidneys is failing..I am now going to see a specialist for Dialysis...Not loking forward to it, but I'm hoping it helps...I will try to get on here when I can to say hi, and see what's going on with everyone...Sure miss this community...
...and if anyone has been on Dialysis or knows of anyone that had it, could you please share some info and let me know how it all works...I'd appreciate it...and I miss you all..((HUGS))...FONT]

I hate to hear all of this! I know this has got to be so over whelming to you. You have our love and prayers. I too know others who have been on dialysis. It is a huge adjustment but I know you can management it. Your such a strong lady! I communicate with a 15 year old girl, who was one of my students, and she too is on diaylsis. She does it daily from home. Funny thing, Isabel (her name) was just IMing me, as I was writing this post. She's a real sweet girl!
