ups and downs in week 5

This last week has had alot of ups and downs.  Monday I went for blood tests as normal everything was fine, then I got a call that evening by Dr Swift saying my creatinine levels were high (158) and could i change a few of my drugs becasue of this I had to go back in tuesday morning first thing for a scan and blood tests if it was bad again i would be in tuesday night for a biopsy on my kidney! All I could think about was my condition was back and I would be back on dialysis again and my life would be back to living of a machine!

The reason for the high levels could be becasue of the Ramipril drug I had been started on, or the prograf level being high also the food I had eaten the night before (roast dinner) also the amount of fluid in your body. So this is what i was hoping for.

We got a call from the Dr tuesday afternoon and she confirmed everything was fine and my levels were back down again, and the reason was because of the drugs.  But im back in this morning anyway for the usual wed blood tests just hope the are all ok.
