20th November

Well, someone told me to write things in my blog and not let that someone out of the loop. Sigh. I just wish there is other medium where that specific person can be kept up to date (:

The good news is that after the $15k medicine treatment, my kidney function improved. Significantly if I may say so. Doctor told me the protein leakage had went down although still slightly higher than normal.

She also said that previously when the biopsy was done, kidney was working 40 to 50%. Now it is about 60%. Yay.

P.S GET IPHONE.

First medical appointment after my ORD. Also the first appointment after my 2 infusion. Each infusion costs roughly $8,000. Expensive but necessary, wouldnt want to lose one or both kidney so soon do we?

I was told to come 2 hours earlier by the ward for blood/urine test. I usually do the test 3 to a week earlier but hey they told me to come 2 hours earlier before the appointment and so I did. Which turn out that there isnt enough time for them to process it and by end of appointment I dont know the results of the test. What a waste of time and money doing the test. Idiots.

My doctor told me my protein level leakage is back to normal after years of losing more than usual. 2 to 3 times more than usual and was back to normal after just the first infusion. Well, for an $8k medication, who doesnt expect some improvements.

After my appointment my brother fetch me back and we visited our old neighbourhood ;  Clementi Street area. Oh how the place has changed. It look so cool now with pubs around. Only a handful of shops from when I stayed there remained. When going home, my brother's van had a flat tire. Argh. I had to help to change it. Tiring.

Think thats all. Waiting for next appointment to see how I am doing as when I had the infusion, it was fasting month and not much crap entered me :)
