Well my husbands son came over last night and convinced my husband to go to the er and have his blood drawn-I was so relieved. Is creatin was down to 2.18 and is bun had risen to 40. The only good thing about it was my hubby finally opened up and has decided to fight for his life-That he wants to live and he will go see a specialist and look into dialysys-They diagnosed him as End stage renal failure-So he knows he is headed to medical intervention or Death-and he is choosen so far to look into dialysis. Some great relief for me-Now if we can get his weekness under control and figure out why today he is starting to have joint pain and get that under control maybe he can have some of his old life back.

I'm so relieved. This is such a good thing. From experience I can tell you that dialysis (any form) is never anywhere near as bad as your imagination tells you it's going to be. It isn't "fun", but it is certainly do-able. And once you have been on for a bit, you definitely start to feel better. His pain may simply be due to the circulation of excess toxins in his blood. I hope he feels better soon. Take care.
