My hemoglobins are low again (7/27/22)
Update :
Once again my hemoglobins are low so I’m getting my 5th & 6th blood transfusions.
The x-ray came back and the doctor said it appears I have a “bone infarct.” From my understanding this means the bone may be cutting off blood supply which the doctor said “can be very painful.” Duh.
My right foot has blown up (just like my left did last week).
Meanwhile a lot of positives in my blood work despite all of this. My potassium and phosphate levels are almost perfect which means my diet is working. My creatinine is 6.47, the lowest it’s ever been! I started at a 29 and the upper healthy range is 1.2 so still a way to go but this is incredible. My kidney function is up to 10.4 (around 10%) versus the 1 I came in with. Dialysis has helped recover some of the acute damage I caused from ibuprofen usage.
The oxycodone is doing wonders. Probably gonna take some more and then beg the doctors to load me up on even more.
