since my last journal entry i have been in the hospital a couple of times. I went in for my kidney biopsy which was no fun at all. It didnt hurt though because i couldnt feel it. it was more of the afterward part that caused me so much pain. I had to lay flat on my back for 8 hours and was not allowed up to use the restroom. of course i caused a fit and said there was no way i could go to the bathroom laying on my back, so they let me up once to go, then by the time i had to go again i was allowed up. so everything went ok with that. i got my results back and i do have early stages of lupus forming in my kidneys. they changed my medication around and said it will help more than the other meds did, so i hope that is true. i want to feel better so bad. im tired of feeling like this.

friday night, me and my family went out to eat. well then we went back to my grandparents house to have some cake for my nieces birthday. i had been hurting in my chest and throat just about all day long and having trouble breathing. So i asked if someone would take me home so my mom and dad were taking me home and the car starts smoking and we figure out it is the radiator. so were on the side of the interstate and i am having an anxiety attack. finally my sister came by and picked me up and she took me home. we got home and my sister goes to walmart to pick up a present for my nieces birthday so i was home alone. i started breathing funny and just really uneasy couldnt stay still. my chest was hurting everytime i moved. So finally my mom got home cause i called her crying and then we immediately went to the ER at vanderbilt. i stayed in the ER for about 13 hours then they finally gave me a room where i stayed all weekend. My heart rate was beating over 160 beats per min, way too fast. my disease caused fluid around my heart and making it beat fast and causing pain.

now my dad is having surgery on his back, im getting sick of doctors and hospitals. I just hope me and my dad can get everything straightened out. All we do is visit doctors and hospitals.
