Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
Just a quick post (via PDA) to say that I was in the hospital once again.
Why? Well, it would seem that my blood pressure decided to climb too high on Wednesday night. Tried dealing with it with medication,but I ended up going to Urgent Care to deal with it.
After a couple of hours getting meds pumped into me intraveneously, the docs decided to put my butt in the hospital to handle the problem.
So, by Friday morning they said I could go home since my BP was 'normal' again. The one reason they came up with as to why my BP went bezerk was that my kidneys - even though they've failed - are the cause.
And the solution? Remove both of them.
I don't really know what to think of that right now.....it kind of scares the crap out of me - but then again,so does having another fracking stroke.
I'll get more info from my nephrologist when I see her in the next week.
Yup....when it rains,it pours.
aww, crap, Mike. Let us know.

Would think it would, huh?

I am confused though - would you have to be permanantly hooked up to a hemodialisys machine without any kidneys? I thought you had some function left.

To be honest - I don't know.
I do know that having my kidneys removed would make my case more dire - no kidneys means that I won't be peeing like a normal person and I'd have to rely on dialysis for removing all excess fluids from my body.
It's something I'll have to ask my nephrologist.
