Last year, around March to June, my lola had a kidney complication where she had to undergo dialysis thrice a week. Her creatinine was very high it reached to 6 niya taas na ka na siya. Normal kay below 1. ( mu ask niya ko ako mama pila an normal siya man nag asikaso about ani) Around June, dili na namo maka kaya ang expenses ni lola niya cge siya gawas sud sa hospital. My lolo decided nga i stop nalang jd ang dialysis kay cge mag luya akong lola and dili jd siya ganhan mu kaon. Daghan kau gi bawal akong lola ato para ma ubos jd iyang creatinine. To make a long story short, ni decide jd akong lolo na let's just wait until you know, akong lola, mu join na ni Lord. Dili na jd namu maka ya ang expenses ato daghan na kau mi utang.

Just this month, actually gabie nakuha ang results sa lab test ni lola. Gikan pag June, karon rasad namu gi pa lab test akong lola. She stopped undergoing dialysis from June up to now. Ang iyang creatinine ni ubos ug 1.68. Na ning2 jd ko. Katong nag dialysis pa akong lola niya daghan pa jd gi bawal nga pag kaon wa jd ni abot ani nga level iyang creatinine. Sauna katong cge pa siya dialysis iyang range sa creatinine niya kay 6 to 5 jd inatawon. usahay mu ubos lang ug mga pipila ka points. Karon wala namu siya gi bawal ug mga pag kaon. We just let her ate bisag unsa iyang gusto kay we thought hapit na jd (if you know what i mean). Mas ni lag sik jd akong lola karon. I'm so thankful to God nga gi hatagan paniya ug taas nga kinabuhi akong lola.

After this one, di na kau ko mu trust ug mga doctors. Unless naay explanation what happened to my lola's creatinine nga nganong ubos na nuon kau (with no dialysis, walay bawal na pagkaon, the only medication she's taking ryt now kay kanang sa heart nalang) niya katong cge pa siya dialysis taas nuon kau iyang creatinine niya daghan pa jd bawal pag kaon.

i think it helps kung mangayo pud kag second or third opinion especially sa imung lola nga case wherein mag involve na og ingon ana kadako nga care og gasto. good thing maayo na tawns lola... and good for you kay napa imo mga grannies.

@wisechoice: (OT) dude, i suggest you read more about spinal injury before you do more harm to it.. else you might come to regret it in the future.

bisag ako dili well-versed ana nga condition pero just try searching it online.. i'm not saying to quit your passion, but at least kahibaw ka sa tanan consequences sa imu decision. here's a short one i found.

Abstract

Lumbar spine injuries in athletes are not uncommon and usually take the form of a mild muscle strain or sprain. More severe injuries sustained by athletes include disc herniations, spondylolistheses, and various types of fracture. The recognition and management of these injuries in athletes involve the additional consideration that to return to play, the lumbar spine must be able to withstand forces similar to those that were injurious. The authors consider common lumbar spine injuries in athletes and discuss management principles for neurosurgeons that are relevant to this population.
Introduction

The increased number of adults and adolescents who regularly participate in athletic activity has raised the collective awareness of common low-back in juries (bruising, overstretching, or mild to moderate tearing of the paraspinal soft tissues). A smaller percentage of injuries pose legitimate threats to the continued participation of the athlete in sport; these include such disorders as disc herniation, spondylolysis, and minor fractures. Be cause lumbar spine injuries usually do not affect the spinal cord, symptoms are milder, typically cause only pain and/ or single-level nerve root impingement, and continued participation in athletics is generally possible.

For the recreational athlete, from the "weekend warrior" to advanced amateur, his or her livelihood is usually obtained through means other than in the athletic arena, and cessation of play may be an unfortunate yet acceptable outcome after conservatively or surgically managed lumbar spine injury. For the elite athlete whose subsistence demands unencumbered physical performance, lumbar spine injury is a daunting prospect. The elite performer must attain an excellent functional outcome to treatment to be able to continue at the same level of performance. When surgery is required, the neurosurgeon must disturb tissue to the minimum amount necessary for a successful outcome, while remaining mindful that the athlete will continue to face the same physical stresses and dangers that were injurious in the first place. We review four common injuries to the lumbar spine in athletes (soft-tissue injuries, disc herniations, pars defects and their sequelae, and other minor fractures) and discuss their management and return-to-play guidelines.
just a little info..

prevention is better than cure, dba?

ask good friends to recommend a good dr.
nya kung major ang problema, always get a 2nd or even 3rd opinion.
