@JamesENL forbidden by yourself? ;)

JamesENL

Well Zach said no, and I don't want to risk anything by defying that

There'd be nothing worse than flying half way round the world to have the door slammed in my face

7:49 AM

@JamesENL that is true...

JamesENL

So I'm stuck with just conversing now

8:40 AM

Well, better than nothing, I guess. :)

9:23 AM

@M.A.R. any reason you don't talk here any more? Just curious.

@ShaWizDowArd yeah

I hadn't loaded this tab properly

Well, I was gone for a week. I didn't talk anywhere

I was in a hospital

@M.A.R. ouch. Why? You OK?

Define "OK"

I will need dialysis probably for the rest of my life

@M.A.R. oh my... but what about kidney transplant?

"OK" is alive and not in pain, I guess. :)

Is this something you were born with, or has something happened? @M.A.R.

(e.g. some accident, strong hit?)

@ShaWizDowArd no one knows

@ShaWizDowArd we're trying to revive kidney function

Hopefully it won't get there

@ShaWizDowArd I'm OK

9:34 AM

@M.A.R. your kidney just... stopped working??

@M.A.R. how? Special medicine?

@M.A.R. good! thumbs up

@ShaWizDowArd we found out when there were crazy levels of urea and creatinine in my blood

I broke a record somewhere

Normal creatinine levels in blood are 0.7–1.4 mg/dL

People with bad kidneys have creatinine levels of around 5 or 6

A creatinine level of 20 gets the person in coma

And how much you had? 30?

My creatinine level was . . . 54.

omg

So you're a walking miracle?

No wonder you're so yellow!

Normal urea levels are 20-something to 43 mg/dL

Mine were 389.

9:39 AM

O_o_O

@ShaWizDowArd yeah

No one could believe it. The tests were confirmed seven times

lol. I mean, sad lol. But still lol.

So they performed tests for a full week?

No, three days

I also ended up with anemia, and I got finally sick. So I had to take a test. That's when we found out

I had no idea it was my kidneys

I was in a hospital for a week, and 6 dialyses were performed

Whoa

Now I'm in our pharmacy, but I would still need dialysis 3 times a week

9:43 AM

That sucks...

You can say that again

Hope you got medical insurance? Otherwise it costs tons of money, I guess...

It still feels like a dream

@M.A.R. That sucks...

Well, one "good" thing might be that you now get lots of attention.... :)

@ShaWizDowArd everyone here has insurance

9:44 AM

@M.A.R. good! That's how it should be.

What about school?

It's summer

But I blew the university exam because I was sick and I didn't do it

I have to redo it next year
