Let the blog see the rabbit...

So yet again, I find myself sitting in reception in Renal Outpatients at the Royal London waiting for blood results.

I had expected my appointment on Tuesday to be the last one here, but I had a call from Vicky yesterday informing me that my creatinine was 177 on Tuesday and so they wanted me to come back and have my bloods done again today.

The bloods were taken at 11:30 and I was told to expect the results at 1. Needless to say, that was 20 minutes ago and I'm still waiting.

Every other time but one that I've been called back for repeat bloods has meant another stay in hospital and the one that didn't should have as the kidney was being rejected at the time. As a result, I have come prepared this time - with all my drugs, some spare clothes and my palm and phone chargers.

After I got the results:

At about 1:30, they got my blood results back and my creatinine was 161, which they decided was enough of a drop to let me go home. They will have a meeting tomorrow to decide what to do next.
