Day + 26, The End Is Near (Or Is It?)

It's kind of amusing... between my lack of fat, low red blood cells and my low-blood pressure medication -- I've been chilled to the bone. It's been very hot here, and I actually feel cold. It was over 80 degrees today, and my mother and Janice are sweating to death in the hot treatment room. I'm wrapped in a blanket. Hehe.

Saw the nephrologist today, which was an uneventful visit. When things are going good, there's nothing really to talk about. Although it's way too early to draw conclusions, my kidneys seem to be stabilizing. Enough fluid has been removed from my body so that it is starting to lose weight by itself. However, I still have a lot of fluid. My nephrologist believes that I lost around 5 pounds during treatment, meaning I'm still carrying 10 pounds of fluid. This means that at its peak I had 25 pounds of fluid in my body. So glad they intervened, as I would dread living the rest of my life as a human paperweight.

So, they've worked out a regimen for me, and see how I do by Friday. If things look good, they will officially discharge me from the clinic. However, I will need to come in for a quick visit on Monday and go from there.

Hurray! I guess.
