I'm home!
Well, after a month in the hospital and almost a week in the nursing home, I am home again and have relearned how to walk. I'm feeling amazingly well at this moment, buzzing almost. It might just be mania, but it feels good so I'll take it for now.

I've been here almost a month (Friday will be a month) and despite how many tests they run and how much blood they take I'm still not infection free. I also do not know yet when I will be allowed to go home, or what is nessessary for me to get closer to that goal. I do know that there will be a several week stop at a physical rehabilitation ( Read more... ) -
one of those nights
I can't sleep because of the pain, and I can't even relax because I am nervous since first thing in the morning I am being transferred to the icu. The bacteria that had just begun to grow (brand new one no relation to the old) I'd one that is extremely dangerous and hard to kill. The only drug it is not resistant to is a derivative on penicillin ( Read more... ) -
I don't this it's possible to be more annoyed right now.
I know I know....another rant by Malkah. Sorry folks, It has to go somewhere.
So, lets see. Had surgery #1 on my fistula and recovered from it, I'm back in my wheelchair and able to move around some. The E coli infection was cleared as well. THat was most off last week. Friday, after as scary period of time where I had convulsions adn 103 ( Read more... ) -
Saturday in the hospital
Yes, I got to sleep in until noon, catching up on many hours of interrupted, fever filled, pain filled or otherwise disrupted sleep. The rest of the day however, just plain depressed me. Everyday, twice a day they have been drawing blood cultures. One set from the harm/hand one from my dialysis access (when there is a functioning one, there ( Read more... ) -
not again!?
well, finally after an hour of screaming at doctors, panic attacks and crying my eyes out desperately and missing my pain med dose and causing myself more pain I have gotten my doctors to be singing the same tune and actually -listening- to me! That is the good news. The bad news is that I apparently have a mutated form of e coli growing in my ( Read more... ) -
Seriously, People?!
For those who have been following me since I've returned know that I am back in the hospital with a bacterial infection in my central line. Today just seriously topped the proverbial cake when it comes to doctor idiocy.
First, some background info:
I am severely allergic to most Antibiotics. This includes the higher powered, very specific ones.

The hardest note i've ever written
*sigh* I must have erased 5 of these cause I can't get it right, and really I guess there is no right way. I'm in the hospital, have been for some time now because my Kidneys have failed. I am on dialysis however my body is not doing well with it at all and I am backed up against a wall. I need a kidney transplant.
I wouldn't be asking ( Read more... ) -
Passed on from my Husband
I was hoping to do this with more slow consideration, but circumstances are what they are. I am putting out an immediate call for a live-in babysitter. The short of the deal: live with us, rent free, in exchange for child-watching duties. Details can be worked out with the proper candidate.
We're barely getting by right now thanks to an ( Read more... )
