After Jim's post-op visit on Tuesday, He started back on dialysis. While they decreased the number of bags he does nightly from 3 to 2, they will gradually increase over the next few week. So far it seems to be going good.
His blood work showed that his phosphate was high and he was given medication for that. Otherwise, he once again got a goo report card.
His next doctor appointment is with a rheumatologist on Thursday. Hopefully she will be able to give us some good advice on treating his gout. We are experimenting with not eating hamburger for the next couple of weeks to see if that would help with gout. He also has cut out drinking soda during the week and cut out all high fructose corn syrup which I read also contributes to gout attacks.
So in the meantime, we are back on track....hoping that sometime soon we'll get the good news that a transplant is just around the corner.
