My Husband is 67 and was diagnosed a year ago. His Creatatine level was 3 last week and Potassium 6.6. He had an aranesp shot last Monday and another today. With his diabeties, we have had a constant balancing act of Kidneys verses fluids. The diuretics affect his kidneys even in small doses.
Right now his legs are red and look like they will explode. He will be in the hospital soon….
Be glad your Dad is going to Ohio. If he gets sicker he does, staying home won’t change that. If he wants to go, support him all they way. If the Doctor says no, that is different.
It is hard being loving and caring and sometimes too protective. I am guilty of it too.
I am not getting answers I want to hear from the Doctor. I need to learn the right questions to ask. All I know is they say there is no cure, as Lyn (my husband is not eligable for a marrow transplant)
I will be reading more of the forum to get more informtion.
