To everyone:
Leap of Faith! 😇🙏
Long Post Ahead.
Hello there! It’s me! It’s been almost four months since the last post on this page and I believe that I owe you some updates about my health condition. My friends told me that it would be better if I also let the people know how am I doing lately.
Series of laboratory tests were already done. Still not in normal though, it kept on fluctuating. Creatinine level in my blood still increases then decreases, then increases again. I just had my kidney biopsy where a little tissue is extracted from my kidney to study the main cause or what seems to trigger the kidney malfunction. I was admitted to the hospital last Wednesday and glad I was able to check out late last night. Now I am recovering and hope there will be no complications like Hematoma(internal bleeding).
For the moment, I should be vigilant in what I’m eating in order not to reach the point of dialysis, I do have my maintenance medicines to cover me up as well. I was having the best time of my life, enjoying and helping financially my family. Life has been good until one day, I was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease. My whole world collapsed in an instant. For the span of five months, I have lived with limitations, no more appetite wth my food(no salt/less salt), limited water intake and I can’t eat my favorite snacks/dish. Everything has changed. I may have a drastic weight loss but my fighting spirit is always there. I still continue to pray and believe that one day all is well in God’s grace and thy will.
With regards to the plan of having a Kidney Transplant, it’s still way far to achieve yet as there are other circumstances that needs to be considered. I still don’t have a donor though. Hope we can find one. Due to financial constraints, we cant pursue yet the transplant. Hope to get there soon. My family is in the verge of losing everything for my medical expenses. My company’s health insurance is also almost maxed out but still I am grateful that I still have these means of supporting my hospital and medical bills.
To all the people who kept on checking up on me, giving inspirational mesaages and praying for me, thank you all and most of all to my family, boyfriend and friends who are always being there for me who always encourage me to stay strong.
Just to raise awareness, as early as now, please take good care of your health. Try to minimize your coffee, alcohol, seafood and fastfood intake. Drink lots of water, eat more fruits and vegetables. If you don’t, then you will realize how your life will turn upside down once you get CKD. ❤️❤️❤️
