Week 11 update

21 is the amount of hours I have been in Hospital in the last 3 days.  Monday I went for clinic and they wanted a biopsy as they could not work out why my creatinine had gone up by 20pts.  So i went back to beacon ward and waited, 4 hours later I was told that they could not get me a bed that day so come back in the morning.

The next morning was up at 6.40 to try and battle the traffic and get there on time.  This time they were ready for me  so had my biospsy then layed for 6 hours on my back to stop any more bleeding.  It was not as bad as my last two ive had.  My ipod got me through again.  So now 4pm i was ready to go home but no. I had to wait around for the results and there has been a slight rejection to my body but it was the smallest grade of rejection a ’1a’ so they gave a tablets and a drip of a strong steriod.  I have to go back for 3 days for the drip which take about an hour to go through which is not to bad.  Just a pain having to travel up there as its a 100mile round trip and I cant drive becasue of my biopsy, mum has to take me and take more time off work.

Its thursday tomorrow and its my last drip I need and I can get this needle out my hand.  Then hopefully all my levels will be back to around 130 mark maybe even better.  Then normal clinic on friday so loads of traveling this week.

Im preparing to go back to hockey training once I have my protection its going to take a while to get my fitness back up to where it was.  Also i have been planning my 21st bday.  Ive chosen to do paintball not the best idea but i will have my pretection so everything should be cool.  I havent told my docs they will just say no.

EDIT : its thursday and I have been in every day so far for a total hours of 25 hours.  Im back in tomorrow for clinic which will be another 3/4 hours.  Ive had blood taken 6 times, had 1500mg of steriods put in over 3 days.  Ive had a canular in for 3 days.  Mums driven me a total of 400miles then another 100 tomorrow.  Then I will be back in for clinic on monday!  busy!
