Dealing with Kidney Failure Possibility
I'm scared to death right now. I've been having these weird symptoms since friday that I found out could be kidney failure. I had a kidney infection recently that I'm afraid I waited too long to get help for. I'm really, really freaked out and I need my mom to go to the doctor with me, but they're not open until tomorrow. Should I ask her to take me to the emergency room? How am I gonna tell her? She's been through sooo much and she doesn't deserve this. Do you think she'll be mad at me for this? Would you still love your kid the same if they gave themself kidney failure?

Today is Monday, if you haven't seen a doctor yet call your doctors office. They will tell you if you need to go to the emergency room or if you can wait for them to schedule you into the office.
In the future if something like this happens. There are 24 hour walk-in clinics that can help you. You will find them in the yellow pages or on the web or as I did by calling my doctors answering service. When I did I was told to go to a specific clinic my doctor trusted.
Your Insurance will most likely cover this visit as it is generally no more expensive than a doctors office and far less expensive than a visit to a hospital emergency room.
As to your question of parental love. There is very little or anything my child could do to loose my love. What would make me very unhappy with you if you were my child is not coming to me and telling me you were ill and needed to see a doctor.
As a parent my first responsibility is to your health and safety. It is not for you to worry about me. What I may or may not be dealing with or what I may or may not be able to afford. I will deal with what I have to deal with and I will afford that with which I must afford to. Your health is something I must be able to afford 1st before all else.
So if you have not told mom you are ill tell her. Then call the doctor and ask to be seen. If they cannot see you today and believe you need to see a doctor today they will tell you if you need to go to the emergency room or a walk in clinic.

Go to the emergency room ASAP. Kidney failure is very serious especially because you waited to get help for the infection. Forget about how your mom is going to react. It is important that you seek medical attention NOW. Your mom isn't going to be mad. She cares about your safety more. Please tell her and have her take you to the E.R. NOW
