From Feb 13-18, 2008 I was at the University Of Washington being treated for a rejection episode. I have a kidney/pancreas transplant that my body started to reject. It took several months to diagnose. My regular kidney specialist did not have that much experience with this type of rejection ( apparently it isn't that common) so she referred me to the University Of Washington Medical Center.
My condition was getting worse. The treatments were not helping at least that is what the daily blood work and a special antibody test were showing until the morning of the 17th.
I don't know what time I went to bed but close to the time I was getting ready to go to sleep, on Feb 16th, but fully awake I was slightly startled by a man, dressed in what looked like a blue iniform, just kind of popping into my room from nowhere. Right after I saw him I was out. I remember feeling like I was floating while a procedure was being done. This was not scary and I don't remember any pain or that many details about the procedure.
The morning of the 17th my creatine level (kidney function ) was better. The antibody test however showed that my body was making more antibodies which in this case is a bad thing. My electrolytes were off to the point that I needed IV potassium. The doctors were not sure what to tell me and did not know why my potassium was so low. I am not 100% sure if the potassium level corresponded to this event but the creatine level did.
My boyfriend told me that he had a very real UFO dream that same night. He described it as a cigar shaped UFO and felt like he was flying. I found this a very interesting coincidence. He did not write down all the details and even though he told me all about it in the hospital this is all I can remember.
On Feb the 18th my early morning blood draw was one or two hours early. I noticed the time and mentioned it the the man taking my blood but he didn't seem too concerned. He drew only three vs four vials of blood and left a huge bruise. He said three vials should be enough after he couldn't get any more. It was like my body was not being cooperative but this isn't that unusual.
A few hours later the nurse was looking up my blood test results and found that they were missing. She made up a report. They never did find the missing blood and I had to take the blood tests again.
Even after I was released my antibody tests were not good even though my creatine has been about the same as after my experience on the 16th. This is not an isolated incident where I have had conflicting blood/medical tests and have been mysteriously helped. I wish I would have documented some of the strangeness years ago.
