Paul! Good to hear from you. About 3 weeks ago I'd e-mailed you (@justme4now) 'cause I'd thought something might be wrong. Anyway, sorry to hear that you're in the hospital. I hope you're being well taken care of & also that you can be back to good health soon my friend.

Paul, I see you stopped by today. You ought to let us know how you're doing. I'm sure others are as concerned about you as I am. Hope you're doing better.

A few months ago I thought I had all the signs of emphysema. I had smoked for 50 years. (Quit 12 years ago)
Couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, couldn't get out of bed and worst of all, It got harder and harder to breath.
I just carried on as best I could.
A week later ... My lady friend said that I looked like I was dying ... I was!
She called the ambulance.
I had advanced pneumonia and renal,(kidney) shutdown. (No emphysema)
The pneumonia shut down my kidneys filtering system and the waste from muscle movement, creatinine was off the charts.
Creatinine is a poison that is filtered by the kidneys so as not to enter the bloodstream.
Anyone with a 5.0 or higher trace is likely to have his kidneys destroyed .. mine was 21!
Doctor said he'd never seen anyone live with values higher than 7. (Normal is about 1.7)
While in the hospital I have been going through dialysis every other day to rid my system of excessive water and creatinine.
My fear was that I would have to take dialysis 3 times a week for 3 and a half hours from now on!๐ญ
GOOD NEWS!! Doctor said there is a drug treatment and my kidneys will improve!
After I leave here, (hospital) I won't need dialysis! ๐ค
Thanks to all of you for your concern.
Paul

Paul, well, that surely must've been a frightening ordeal you went thru. I'd say your good news is actually great news! Good to see you back here with us again.

Will still be in hospital for at least the next week. They still want me to do dialysis until the new drug and recovered kidneys are working. Hospital Food!! You wouldn't believe how good it has become! Roast beef, pot roast, eggs (scrambled, hard boiled etc. etc) Fish dinners. You get a Menu to order from!๐ Two examples of my favorite meals: Penne with white meat chicken and meat sauce. Ice tea, side salad, pudding, fruit cup, coffee and a cola if you want one.๐ Speaking of fruit๐ฎ This is their wonderful fruit dish I have never been able to finish! Huge grapes and lots of strawberries. Melon, pineapple and cottage cheese. Burgers, fries, ice cream and of course jello๐ In case you're bored .. Breakfast This Morning: Grits, eggs, sausage, orange, grape juice, coffee, bagel ... ๐

Paul, hope all goes well for you in your last week there. Dang, that sure doesn't look like any hospital food I've had in the past. I'm beginning to suspect that you'll miss leaving all that good food behind.

So did it start from a medication gone rogue?
You have a good supplement to Medicare?

You have a good supplement to Medicare? Pneumonia, sepsis, kidney shutdown, creatinine poisoning ... whole nine yards. Doctors said that I was dead for a time.๐ฅด I have United Health Care. Great Insurance!๐
