Hi everyone,

I apologize for disappearing again but I was admitted to the hospital
last Thursday...from a post I made elsewhere about this:

=== Begin quote ===
I'm finally back home. I didn't get discharged until nearly 3 PM EDT
and that's typical for the VA. I am now back home, safe and sound.

To make a very long story short, due to a perfect syorm of happenings,
my kidneys stopped working. I was pumped full of a sodium bicarbonate
(baking soda) and saline solution for four days anlong with a silicon
zirconium powder to absorb excess potassium from my system. Sunday
morning, my kidneys started to work again.

I had a CT scan and an ultrasound of my bladder. The CT scan revealed
two very tiny kidney stones that were not involved in this in any way.

The ultrasound revealed no issues, thankfully.

I was given medication to help me pass those kidney stones and prevent
more from happening. I have a follow-up lab for bloodwork in a week.

I dodged a bullet this time.

The funny part: they told me I was drinking too much water and to cut
down...
=== End quote ===

I am hoping this won't happen again...
