all is ashes.

Harry's taken a turn for the worse. He had bloodwork done yesterday and his BUN and creatinine levels are very very bad [Creatinine: should be between 0.6 and 2.4, and he's at 5.3. BUN is supposed to be between 14 and 38, and he's at 138.] His phosphorus is also really high, 14.6; I can't remember where that's supposed to be, but it's a lot higher than it should be. I tried to get a phosphorus binder at the pharmacy today and yet again they didn't have something in stock and would have to order it. Apparently it's available over the counter, but they simply don't have it. And I didn't go to pick it up until 8, which was too late to go to the funky small pharmacy that might have it. I tried all the other chain pharmacies near me, but no luck.

So I asked Dr. Death how long he'd have left, and she told me she'd be surprised if he lasted a month. Which means I need to determine how much he's suffering and then make the call. 

I hate my life. GreyKitty died one year ago this week.
