I understand that many of you were not aware of what was going on with me and why I’ve been absent from my ranch page and I apologize for that, long story short, I was hospitalized 10 days ago with AKF or AKI. Acute Kidney Failure. Below is a run down of what caused this whole ordeal.
Update:
Well I’m a free bird as of 10:00 last night
This is what pathology showed. Even though all this wasn’t specifically mentioned the timeline of sickness is in the period of time that all this occurred.
So this is the run down:
Biopsies showed a portion of my left kidney dead, but will heal and should be fine. All this occurred from months of illness starting with covid late February into March, then 3 months of shingles in my mouth, esophagus & chest in April- July, then severe anemia July - August, then being stung by “God knows what” twice in July, then emergency kidney stones & surgery that left me on the verge of sepsis in August, then kidneys gave up & failed. Sickness overload!!!!!
Now I just have to let kidneys heal, so I’ll be seeing my nephrologist for follow ups for about a month. I will have no dialysis and I have NO chronic kidney disease, cancer, nor autoimmune diseases but will have to be careful not to get dehydrated in hot weather from now on out. Doctor says this is the best news she can deliver! Even though my numbers are still in the kidney failure range, I will be continually monitored until my numbers reach .8, right now I’m at 5.22 and had been at a 9.23, so I have a ways to go, but things are going in thebright direction & I’m getting there.
I am now on the MEND!
Thank you for all the prayers! I cannot express how thankful I am, because this could have been a horrible outcome.
Please keep a thumb on your health because without good health, nothing else matters!!!!
Love to all!!!
