My sister is flying in from out west. We already had two round trip plane tickets paid for. So she just changed hers. My papa and her think it's a good idea for me to have someone around 24 hours a day.
I'm a bit freaked out. The receptionist from the doc who will now be know as an Angel called at about 4pm... she said "Go back to the lab and get urine taken... RIGHT NOW. Everything in your blood came back as abnormal. We don't even know what specialist to send you to anymore. Why did the emerg even let you go home?!"
At that point I just lost it. I'm still pretty sure i'm not dying though. Just a little trippy how fast whatever this is, is getting worse.
o.O
I also puked twice today. Bla. Barfing is so gross. I think the puking was a combo of things. I'm in so much pain, really freaked out about the blood work results, and the new drugs.
It's not all bad news tho. At least at some point soon I'll get diagnosed. I have an appt. with a specalist on Wed. My sister is coming, who always has been my "nurse" so to speak. Growing up she'd take care of me when I was sick. And it'll just be nice... to know for sure that no matter what for the next week or so I don't have to worry about feeding myself, walking my dog (he's been so neglected, but I think he knows something is up), driving, etc etc.
FYI here's the blood tests taken:
Creatinine: Kidney
AST: Liver damage
ALKP: Liver
Bilirubin: Liver
Bld. film exam: Looks closely at what cells look like
Hemoglobin: Red cells, checks anemia
WBC: Infection, inflamation
Hematocrit: Red cell % (anemia)
ANF: Lupus
LE cell prep: lupus eryromtitis
RA: Rhematoid authoritity: WBC eat other cells? Attack immune
system?
ESR: degree of inflamation
