A guy trying to correct the mistakes of being young and stubborn

Been a really rough week. Went to the hospital for a few hours night of May 28. Went back to the er on June 2nd then was admitted and released on June 3rd, then we t back to the er again on June 7th admitted and then released on June 9th. All the visits have been saying the same thing. I've been fighting an infection the whole time. Not really saying much about it publicly other than it has involved a lot of pain. This last trip the hospital has involved some low blood pressure, so I might have hit my daily limit (finally) on dialysis treatment. Gonna have to ease up on that. The past week and a half or two weeks have been rough. Really could use some prayers. Will be having a quick procedure done towards the end of the month that will hopefully end this pain once and for all.

So, sorta have a update. Yesterday was the day I did my echo and nuclear stress test for further investigation of my heart. Got the call today that it all looked good. I'm still considered high risk, but yesterday's tests looked good. I will retake the annual evaluation (it will become semi-annual for me) in the near future, whenever we can get it scheduled. After the evaluation, my case will be put back before the board to get reactivated. I'm telling you, this surgery cannot happen soon enough. It's now been 3 years of dialysis, mostly at home. Many have had to do it longer and many have had to go in the clinic for treatment. I don't know how they do it, other than simply not having the option. It will be nice to have the illusion back that I have some control of my life. It gets overwhelming at times. It gets hard. The only option at times is to put your head down, say a prayer, and keep moving.
