So a few week after I did the Shock Top review I went to see the doctor about a problem with my stomach. Before you get ahead of me this isnt a drinking related problem or cancer. I had some blood work done and as the doctor and I were talking he was joking that since he hasnt done labs on me in a while he might as well check all the boxes and should he tick the boxes for VD. I laughingly said go ahead and do a complete panel.(it wasn’t VD) I got a call from him the next morning at work and I was feeling ok and he told me to get the the emergency room right away that my kidneys had shut down. I didnt have any of the symptoms of kidney failure and I found since that at my age and activity level(41 and high activities) I would simply have gone to sleep and not woken up within a week or two of this diagnoses. That being said I haven’t been imbibing alcohol as much and with the constant tests and blood test to qualify as an organ recipient. I’ll keep posting updates but the videos and reviews might be on other drinks like cider or whiskey. Apparently beer even homebrew has to many phosphates and potassium in it and I need to stretch out what little kidney function I have(sitting at 11%).
I had surgery last week to install the implants for periotneal dialysis so I am currently stuck at home editing videos for my son and myselfs other youtube channel Occasionally Outdoors. I havent mentioned what I am going through on that channel since its a family friendly channel and most of the audience are kids. I am doing well just sore and will keep on doing what I have to do until I get a new kidney or start dialysis.
Cheers
