Yesterday I wrote about how the PET and other tests tie together to present an overall picture of the efficacy of a given Dialysis Prescription. Recall also that this past Monday I underwent yet another PET. The results are in, and would you believe, my Transport flipped 180 degrees again, to Low from High. This will require/support yet another prescription from my Nephrologist. Please stand by for more on this as it develops. How this can happen is beyond my understanding at this point.
As a result of an investigation by the Wetherford CathLab, it was ascertained that our son needs a quadruple bypass ASAP. He was transferred to the Fort Worth Medical Center yesterday evening, where he is in the surgery queue for an 0730 procedure today. He is still fighting Hypertension.
And if this isn’t enough, my brother-in-law with AML Leukemia is soon to be released from the hospital into hospice care at his home in Mulberry, Indiana.
For all you dialysis patients who think you are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, get a grip. You are undergoing a life-giving procedure. Things could certainly be much worse as suggested above.
BTW, here in North Texas, we have been experiencing 80+ degree days. All over Pecan Plantation where we live the Daffodils are starting to bloom. See the lead picture from our front yard.
