RE: Dear Diary: I may have to see an orthopedic surgeon
I'm glad to see that this post has made you more money than usual.
I hope that you get all the money that you need for this extremely important surgery.
Ma'am Linda, you are my number one supporter.
With all my heart I am thanking you for what you had done for me.
I am optimistic but still worried on what the doctor will say and I will just hope for the best.
What are the chances of you having the surgery? They will be focusing with your heart and your kidneys. We can hope for the best results for you.
Yes That is also what I am contemplating about.
Years of hypertension just made my heart grew larger than normal. The there is the kidney problem.
What is your opinion @immarojas ?
Will they operate on me?
You've made my day.
I have sent patients before for heart transplant...all were rejected because their kidney functions were abnormal, they were not even on dialysis. Medications needed for surgery will also need healthier kidneys to metabolise them.
The next question will be...will your heart tolerate undergoing such a major surgery. All these will be explained to you by your surgeon. It is not a surgery to correct an organ, but surgical pre-assessment will check the heart and kidney functions.
Thank you.
If surgery will not be an option, at least I just want the progression of my condition to stop.
Maybe there will be a medical way tto do it.
You might need dentures kuya if it can't be stopped . it will help u eat.
sayang ang ngipin ko.
Ang ganda gand pa naman dati at buong buo.
Now all crooked and unusable lalo nasa front teeth,I can't eat corn on a cob anymore and my favorite alimasag.
You can eat those with dentures ano ka..plus they can be re-shaped if need be.
Co-morbidities are high..but we can hope.
I agree but I am willing to risk my life if I will get the chance to regain my basic functions and appearance.
Am sorry, what i meant is that, a surgery on your spine is a major thing. That will need a healthier heart and kidneys to tolerate the surgery. You might have it, but it won't change your heart/kidney functions.
Am so sorry.
Yeah I am aware of these compounded complications.
We will just see how and what the doctor will say.
But I am ready no matter what.
See what they say Kuya...nothing is impossible naman sa taas. Let's hear what they have to say. Though doctors aren't 100% sure of all their prognosis all the time.
I am used to bad news.
I remember when the neprologist had read my laboratory results in NKTI the first time.
The results reads that the kidney disease that I have could recur even if I will get a transplant. Plus I cannot be treated because of another complication.
It was my birthday that day.
I went home crying because I knew then what will happen.
Then it turned out unexpected things did happen and here I am.
I am so sorry Kuya.
The crying is over now but I don't know what is next to crying.
