Am I posessed or What?

Ok...so I told you that I was going to be graphic so this post might gross some of you out. You might want to skip this post if you're of a weak constitution.

Last week when my skin was peeling off my face I had to peel it off. I mean really....the skin was so tight around my eyes that I had a hard time opening my eyes and the skin around my lips was so tight that I couldn't open my mouth to take normal size bites of food.

Let me preface this story for a sec...

About 2 years ago I developed a "zit" on my upper lip. I tried to pop the thing for a long time and finally got something the size of a small bead out of the thing. It totally left a hole in my face which I poured peroxide in and it closed and went away. Then about 6 months later it came back. I tried and tried to get the zit thing popped. I even took a straight pin to it to try and pop it and give the "bead" out of it but all I ended up with was a hole in the zit thing. My uncle, who is a dermatologist, saw it and said it was a colorless mole. I told him I could squeeze it and that stuff would come out but he said he could just cut it off. We didn't have time for that when I was visiting last November so I came home and tried a few times to "milk" it.

Anyway...while I was peeling my skin, this little area on my upper lip was irritated and some pus started to come out of it. I pulled the skin and attached to it was a hard white "bead" again. It left a hole in my face again but it's closing up. It's the weirdest thing.

THEN the next morning I had a bite of Erik's breakfast. He had gone and gotten some eggs down in the cafeteria. A little while later I was looking in the mirror and noticed that I had something on the side of my tongue. I thought it was some food but when I touched it a hard yellow thing came out of my tongue and left a hole in it! What the?????

I told the doctor about it and she saw the hole in my tongue and was like..."I have no idea what that is...did you save it?" Guess I should have. It was just too weird. Between the skin thing, the zit thing on my lip and the thing in my tongue I felt like a total freak of nature!

As for my skin...I'm now losing the skin on my finger tips! This Bactrim has really done a number on me!

Today's health update is this....my creatine is down to 4. Dr. Rinnir asked if my family could live without me for one more weekend. He's thinking if I keep on the downward trend that I might be able to get the dialysis port out and go home on Monday? I can hardly wait. I'm tired of peeing into the "hat" in the toilet, I'm ready to eat some real food. I'd love a real scrambled egg.

They have me on a renal and diabetic diet. Thanks to the Prednisone I've developed a blood sugar problem. Anyway...do you know what you can eat on the renal/diabetic diet? Not a bunch. Not even a banana because the potassium can be rough on your kidneys when you're in renal failure. Thankfully Dr. Rinnir said I can have a banana. I also begged for a bagel with cream cheese and he said I could eat that too. I see light at the end of the tunnel!
