Crippled Today by CKD from PTSD Meds

That 2009 Seroquel overdose from a bad pdoc keeps advancing its damage on my kidneys like the kidney docs said it would.  I'm lucky for the 2009-2023 delay I've been able to pull off, but I'm crippled by Chronic Kidney Disease today, I mean crippled.  I had to be carried just to use the bathroom today.  It hadn't been this bad in weeks.  I now know to be grateful for that.  Ouch.

I am so sorry and heartbroken to hear this. Kidney failure is devasting. I had multiple organ failure including kidneys when hospitalized with bacterial meningitis. Dialysis was awful. 4 sessions. My bun creatinine normal since July 2014. Do you have a caregiver? Take care. God bless. I hate to ask but what possible plans do you have if your mobility does not improve?

Thanks, y'all. I never, ever go back to bed during the day but yesterday CKD drove me back there. Sorry for being graphic about it, but I even had to use a bedpan because I just couldn't get up out of bed even to go next to the bathroom next door to my bedroom.

Fortunately, I DO have a caregiver, as Dani1960 hoped, not only an individual caregiver who's great but, at USD$78 per week salary, who is also affordable. She's supported in caring for me by her entire family that takes care of me, too. They live 3 blocks from my apartment. That family cooks for me, cleans for me, makes runs to the pharmacy for me for my meds, and takes me grocery shopping as well. It's awesome.

My CKD episode passed over night and I got back up and at 'em today, mysteriously, and was able even to go on my first 20 minute walk in 4 days. This CKD is so baffling. It makes it hard to plan my week because I just don't know how its symptoms will affect me day by day.

Kind of like PTSD, too, to be honest. Thanks a bunch for your support then, y'all. It really helps.

It was a better today all day today Friday, y'all, once again. So thanks again for your support getting through these episodes.

    Jay's podcasts are really good.  I watch them on YouTube for free.  Today, I watched his video about motivation.  In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject.  Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence:  I am stuck because?  I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired.  When I have energy, I do...

    Does anyone here have a comfort item you carry with you when you go out? For example this is my doll, Annie, and I've recently been bringing her with me when I run errrands flor have an appointment. Holding her comforts me. I've bought her clothes, crocheted for her, I recently bought a personalized blanket with her name on it.  Just wondering if anyone else has a comfort item.
