In the hospital room I tried all my best to raise my blood pressure, maybe the antibiotic treatment is one factor because I know for myself that the infection was the cause of my lowered blood pressure and I was on it for a few days already until I get to raise my BP.
Then the nurse notified us that I will be going for my dialysis. I am quite apprehensive about it really because of my history of suffering from a low BP. At my dialysis the nurse only took 1 liter of water from my body which I think was not enough but I agreed for the reason of not crashing my blood pressure.
<center__The Norepinephrine Drip To Raise My Blood Pressure__
They were taking a reading of my blood sugar every hour and I found out that even though that they are only using a low flux dialyzer it is enough every house to lower my blood sugar so I was given a glucose shot every hour under dialysis.
Then after I was dialyzed the nurses came to tell us that I will get operated on already. I was given half a tablet of sleeping pill which I thought would not affect me because of its size but little that I knew that I fell asleep without me knowing.
Then I woke-up when the hospital staff already put me on the stretcher so that I can be rolled to the operating table. I wasn't apprehensive about it nor I felt some nervousness. Inside the operating table I heard someone, maybe the doctor saying "Let's put you to sleep" then I just saw him adjusting the drip giving me a dose of that maybe orange-colored intravenous drug. Then Like a flip of the switch I was out without me realizing that I went to "sleep".
I woke-up after the surgery was done. I immediately tried to feel my legs, they were numb. I thought maybe they gave me some anesthesia at my backbone area above the navel area. Then I got transferred to the recovery room for a while where I just tried to sleep again.
Then they rolled me back to my hospital room and I uttered "I had escaped at last". We just stayed two days after my surgery because I have to get another dialysis before the Nephrologist gives me the clearance to go home. Then I asked my mother to show me that problematic appendix that actually had burst already.
My wound had healed fast maybe because of the antibiotic or the vitamin C still circulating in my blood. The doctors and the nurses are just surprised that I recovered fast and they praised the doctor because of that. Maybe they are thinking that I could not make it too because of my physical condition.
I was till in pain all the time and so weak too because I wasn't able to take my Cinacalcet a month prior to my surgery. We finally went home after a few hours or a day after my second dialysis session from the hospital. We paid the remaining hospital bill which was discounted by my health insurance which knocked-off with the amounts to one month of my dialysis allocation.
The bill also got a discount from my being a person with disability (PWD) card holder. So another 20% was shaved from the amount total amount. Then my sister also gave me some financial aid so the total amount that I paud was only about 50% of the total bill which is actually a large amount for a common person to afford.
I thank God that I am able to earn online with of course the support of my friends online via this community that I belong to. I much thank you all because you are all my unsung heroes for that matter.
Anyway at home I took my remaining antibiotic medicine until I finished its course. I also took Cinacalcet twice a day and it did gave me some considerable relief about my pain issues although it just wrecked my appetite.
My wound healed well, my normal strength came back, and I am able to move around with ease again after a few days. So finally the pain in my tummy went away after the surgery and I guess that if I haven't had any emergency money for that matter I am history by now.
Actually I had the error of going for the appendectomy because it made me live longer and stayed in the situation that I am into right now. I should have let myself go and forgo about the surgery so that I can die finally. It just went so fast and I wasn't able to contemplate about it because of the pain and other unpleasant things that I am feeling in those moments.
So again here I am fighting for my life once more trying to put my head above water and actually in a survival mode rather than enjoying life. But I have to man-up and face the music and be thankful that I have friends from afar that are helping me out from kind words and thoughts to financial aid with our crypto plus the blessing from God I am still believeing that nonetheless I am one of the fortunate people that ever lived or Kidney-Leontiasis patient for that matter. Glory be to God and a million thanks to you all.
