Finally Feeling

Finally feel myself again, after that last ordeal in the hospital. I was feeling really messed up, not sure if it was just from being in the hospital, or from all the IV medications. Especially that nitro drip, Id never had nitro before and that was the only new medication I was given. So I think maybe the nitro had something to do with why I was still not totally feeling myself. 
I just had been nausea and vomiting the last few days after I got out the hospital.My appetite also was not what it usually is, I mean usually I can eat portions for four people lol, but I had barely been eating enough for one person. BUT this last week I'm finally feeling back to my regular me, no more vomiting or nausea. Well no more constant vomiting, I know gross, TMI but hey its part of whats going on.
Anywho, so back to my old self, still no word on a donor match. But good thing is since my last blood pressure ordeal in the hospital, my pressures have been EXCELLENT at home. I don't know what they did that fixed it but something worked. 
Nothing much else to report here, just hanging around at home as usual. Working on getting my foot in the door at that culinary school. Still doing four days a week dialysis...urg............

So I was in the hospital this past week, was quite a rough adventure. SO I went in because my blood pressure was like 222/130 on top of having stabbing stomach pains, so bad that mom an dad were in route to the ER but it go so bad they pulled over in a 7-11 parking lot and called 911, mind you its already midnight on the 4th of July by now. Ambulance ride was bumpy and my stomach pain was now spreading to my back. The paramedic said she could give me paid med in an IV....well she attempted TWICE to stick me and couldn't get it.I told her to just stop trying, I did not know what was worse by then needle stabbing or horrible constant stomach pains.At the ER the doctors were puzzled. What could make my blood pressure so high? when I am already on 5 medications, and they tried giving me IV blood pressure meds and no reaction in a 24 hr period. Finally got moved up to a regular bed upstairs. About 6am as my parents leave to get a lil shut eye I started puking unstop ably for atleast 4 hours. Urg by the time my parents come back like 6 hours later the puking seemed to slow down, but then there was my room mate causin more disturbance, seriously the worse room mate anyone could have, she even annoyed the nurses to the point where they gave me ear plugs and said "we are trying to find you another bed". I got settled in my new room, but my blood pressure was still not where it should be. So the doctors ordered a Nitroglycerin drip, then I developed a bad reaction to that, got the chills like out of control chils, feeling unbearable hot then cold to no end. My body was shaking so much it looked like i was being electrocuted. They gave me something to sleep and I knocked out for a bit.On top of that I had an IV in each arm. Even though the Nitro was horriable it seemed to do the trick on the bp now they just had to watch for a few days and do dialysis in hospital tomake sure it really did the trick. the rest of the time i was just over tired and afraid to eat anything. but i think with the help of reorganizing my meds it looks like it uncontrol now. urg Im so tired now.but better.O! and one the head kidney docs who I already didnt like, I hate even more. SO he came into to do a final check and starts givining me a lecture about "maybe you remember how sick you felt and that maybe now youll take your medication." WTF! I was so in shock i was speechless. Seriously dude you think Im making this happen on purpose. I take all my meds and even extra some times, I pop it like candy! omg



Yea so thats my latest adventure.....Iv been home now about three days,but I am still not feeling myself. My appetite is not what it usually is, and I am just fatigued. It will just take time to get back to my old self. It was a rough four days in the hospital, my body went through a lot. Although I did have a wonderful day yesterday, one of my Aunts and cousins came to visit. We had a really great day went to the park and we had a bbq in the backyard. It was really great. Being with family always makes me happy.
