Morning all. Just to let you know Im feeling better and stronger with each new day. In this post I want to describe exactly how ill I was when I was admitted. Besides having heart palpitations, my shins ankles and feet were extremely swollen. (Water retention). The doctors noticed that the left side was much bigger than the the right and suspected I might have a clot in the artery. Blood test were taken and the results werent good. My heart was obviously a mess, my kidneys were bad, my liver was bad (they suspected I had hepatitis) my calcum and potassium levels were out of kilter and there was a serious problem with my lungs. At least my cholesterol levels were normal. Proper tests couldnt be carried out because I was too weak so the first task was strength me up. Potassium and Calcium levels soon normalized and my kidneys also reacted positively. More thorough tests folled and it was established that I didnt have hepatitis as my liver also responded well to treatment. A sonar showed there was no clot in my leg but rather a large one on my lung. My heart was enlarged and functioning at 25% of its capacity. Next up I was found to MRSA a methacillin resistant form of eccoli. I was moved into isolation and treated with an antibiotic called venkomiason. I made me feel like shit but after only 5 treatments, the infection was destroyed. More stories tomorrow. Throughout my stay I kept thinking of songs and this was one of them...https://youtube/watch?v=ClQcUyhoxTg
