Current Health Updates for Friends
I have not been on here in maybe a few weeks or so and wanted to update many folks as much as I can.
On Saturday August 03, 2019 I had gone for one my schedule blood tests, found out later on in the day the hospital and a doctor were trying to reach me, but instead dialed my parents, so officers in my city were dispatched to do a wellness check on me. Finding out that my numbers were at dangerous levels.
Come to find out later my Potassium levels were at a dangerous level and my k**ney function dropped to 4%.
On Monday August 5, 2019 I report to the Emergency Room for Emergency Dialysis.
I had surgery performed on Thursday August 8, 2019. The surgeon went ahead and remove my temporary catheter in the main artery of my neck to my chest. Then he put in a Peritoneal Dialysis Catheter in my belly / stomach.
I was suppose to stay at the hospital until Friday the 9th or Saturday the 10th, but the hospital kept mistreating me as a patient, and a patient can only deal with so much mistreatment from medical staff.
Either way I officially have started HemoDialysis at a Dialysis Center, which I do each Mon, Wed, and Fri in the morning, until my PD Catheter heals. then when able to, I will be training how to setup for PD and then I will be able to do Dialysis at home.
In general if anyone reached out to me, just know I may be slow to respond, but will do my best to get back to you.
I am currently dealing with Dialysis Treatment, Doctor appointments, and trying to get back with few transplant center, to get the ball rolling and try to find a organ donor, so I can one day get back on my feet.
====================================
Latest update as of December 17, 2019
As of last week I spoke to the transplant team I am wanting to work with. for right now working on getting needed paperwork completed and looking for a new dentist so I can send needed paperwork in so the process can get moving a little bit more than it is now. After I get my clearance from a dentist and my paperwork checks out I then will have to wait until they reach out to get tests scheduled and etc.
I will keep folks updated as things happen as I know some want to know.
====================================
As of February 4, 2020
So got my Dental Clearance, will be getting a filling on the Feb 18, 2020 and sometimes after this will be getting a phone call from my coordinator with the next steps.
