Further down the spiral...

Ugh. I just saw the results of my latest bloodwork and it is not good.
My Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) has fallen to 10. "Normal" is >= 60.
Your GFR tells how much kidney function you have. It can be estimated from your blood level of creatinine. If your GFR falls below 30 you need to see a kidney disease specialist.
A GFR below 15 indicates that you need to start treatments like dialysis or have a kidney transplant.

I can use a prayer.
Who is the patron saint of transplants???

Night moves...

Had another late night call last night and started out for the hospital......again....and then was cancelled........again.
Grrrr.

I have a boatload of bloodwork to get done tomorrow. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my numbers are still viable.

Thanks for checkin'!
