Second Chance in Life For Mel

I have a new fistula done on my left hand since the first one isn't working anymore. I still have a tunnel catheter on my neck causing me to experience chills during dialysis. I'm hoping my new fistula would be ready soon since whenever I experience chills, it is followed by leg cramps.

Sorry guys I wasn't able to post updates for quite some time. I was very busy working and getting myself checked after the fluid drainage from my lungs. We went to the hospital this afternoon since I have been feeling nauseous and heavy the past few days. My head and leg hurt and I was scared that I might not be able to walk soon. So we went to the hospital to get mysefl checked and came home with some things we need to fix to get me back to normal and to prepare for the surgery.

They found some issues with my heart and I need to have an angiogram done to know exactly if I need to undergo angioplasty or not. They said I can't go on with the surgery if I have a weak heart. I was given medications to try maintain my heart to its normal function. Then I have to nebulize 4x a day to dilate my bronchial tubes since I've been having a hard time breathing for weeks now.

I need your prayers for me to get well soon.

*These are some of my medicines. I also inject insulin daily to maintain my blood sugar level.

Again, I'd like to thank everyone for the continuous support. May everyone be blessed more!

We're home from the hospital. Finally, I'm free from the 700cc of fluids in my lungs. Thank you to those who prayed and shared their blessings for me to be able to undergo this procedure. Please continue praying for my fast recovery.

We went to the doctor this morning to finally get checked for the fluids in my right lung. He was referred to us by the nephrologist who takes care of my health. We are being asked to buy some items so we don't have to pay too many fees and for the procedure to be done in the emergency room instead of booking an operating room. I am scheduled for thoracentesis this coming Monday (6am MNL Time). Please pray that the procedure would go well. :)

Sincerely,

Mel

Just got home from the nephrologist's clinic. I got a copy of the ultrasound results. I always keep these for future use. I might have the fluids drained on Friday. Some say it would be painful but it's for me to feel better. So, let's do it! - Mel
