Had fun on my birthday retreat last week but got a call from my doctor last Saturday telling me that my kidney function test levels were abnormal & he was faxing the info to my nephrologist. I got a call Wednesday morning from my nephrologist saying that she wanted me to go to the hospital outpatient lab for a repeat of the test. So on Wednesday afternoon, I went to the lab after my guild meeting then went fabric shopping, out to dinner with hubby & home again. About 9:30pm, I got a call from my nephrologist telling me to go immediately to the emergency room as I was in renal failure. So after being in the emergency room for about 24 hours, I ended up having surgery to have a catheter placed in my right jugular vein & I am now on dialysis 3 times a week. I'm still in the hospital and will be here for several more days. I don't know what caused the renal failure as I don't have any symptoms nor do I feel bad. Hopefully, some of the tests that I will be undergoing over the weekend will give me some answers as to why this happened. But for now, I have some hand embroidery work to do & as of tonight, I have my laptop so I can stay in touch with everyone. Prayers are very helpful.
