My daily journey of my thoughts and feelings of having Lupus


Recovering from my Kidney Biopsy

Mar 29 2008

Well here I am laying/sitting on my sofa recovering from my 3rd kidney biopsy.  The last one was done in 1989.  I am happy that your brain forgets pain.  When they wheeled me in the room and the doctor started injecting my kidney with the anesthesia I thought I was gonna go thru the roof.  That hurt really bad and also burned big time.  Once that took effect I only felt pressure when they were doing the actual biopsy thank goodness.

Now I am just waiting for my follow up visit on the 9th of April so we can discuss the plan of attack.  They feel that since I responded so well the last time to prednisone and cytoxen that they might do that again.  We will see what the biopsy shows and take it from there.

I just need to get my head in the right space and think positive and also think of the wonderful 15 year remission that I had had and look forward to the next remission period.

I have always said that I have Lupus but it does NOT have me!
