Dale Steward I am about to provide a story of fact. As a result of a continued swollen leg, I was sent to a medical clinic for some bloodwork. A few hours later I received a phone call suggesting I go to the hospital, here in Kelowna, because my hemoglobin was extremely low, 56. The next day, June 6, I went to the hospital. I was immediately admitted and scheduled for blood transfusion to increase hemoglobin level. Within two hours I was informed my kidneys had completely failed due to high blood pressure. On, or about, June 11, I had surgery to attach a cathoder to my jugular vein as well as a fistula on my right arm. The time from there until present, is trying to understand why I did not see or feel any warnings. This is strong argument for people to visit a doctor, on a regular basis. I am now on disability and have to go to hospital three times weekly for a dialysis session lasting 4 hours.
