So true, and as long as you can say this then you can consider yourself lucky.You aren't wrong there, Steef, but when you get into a hospital environment you see there's always someone worse than your self.
Small consolation at times.
Scary to say the least. Please drink plenty of fluids and keep a phone close by. My mom experienced a similar situation and her doctor told her to drink more. Keep a water bottle with you at all times. Take care !Last Saturday had to dial 999.
Kidney issue developed over a week to point I was delirious.
Rushed to Barnsley A&E, who couldn't cope so had me carted off to Pinderfields hospital,Wakefield under blue lights.
Immediate emergency surgery to relieve a blocked kidney, fitting a stent to drain it.
Was told if I hadn't got there, I would have died within 3-6hrs!
Back home...an old man and struggling!
The previous week I had moderate pain, abdomen, right side, for which I took painkillers.
What I wasn't aware of was a subtle diminishing sense of reality.
Saturday morning I realised I was very confused, not capable of the simplest of things and was devoid of any meaningful sense of time.
So called for help.
It was a good thing I did (68 years old, I live alone, no family).
Apologies if I've repeated details.....I'm still not entirely thinking straight.
This time I missed a bullet, just.
Putting this out there in the hope someone may benefit from my experience and survive, as I hope I have, from what was a frightening episode.
Please take care.
Praying for a successful surgical outcome!Thank you for your interest, Terry.
Good news is I'm booked in for surgery next Tuesday (19th), after a week long hick-up.
Can't wait as my symptoms are steadily getting worse and I'm passing blood every day now.
Wishing everyone Happy Festive Holidays and a super New Year
That sounds like a nice way to start the new yearThanks for your best wishes, guys.
I've elected for an epidural so I can back seat the whole procedure live on screen.
