Twelve years ago today - right about this time in the morning - my daughter was born.
And if you clued into the date (and that's why you came here in the first place), you'll also note that the United States nuked Hiroshima 61 years ago.
I'm not going to repeat what I said last year about this event, but here's the short version:

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.

glad you're ok, buddy...
If you did have them removed would that make you a higher priority on the transplant list?
Would think it would, huh?

Glad you're back home. Missed arguing with ya.
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.
|| Posted by nunya, August 5, 2006 06:15 AM ||yes rob, he would get bumped up then. i am very sure that is the case.

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.
