I'll thank my mind to clear....

Yesterday, being April 1st, I had my appointment with my nephrologist and it was a bit less amusing than a bad April Fool's joke.

I was aware that my latest lab results were not good but it still hit me like a punch in the gut when,  after looking at my labs and then looking me over, the doctor said quite emphatically to me:
"I can promise you within six months you're going to need to be on dialysis."

He is aware, as are most of you, that I am still
C O M P L E T E L Y against this course of action.

And so I have a lot of thinking to do.

Praying for calm.

Looking for guidance.

Right now my brain hurts.

I'll keep you posted.

No Foolin'

April is National Donate Life Month.

Someday a generous person may save your life or that of someone you know.
Did you know that you have a higher chance of needing an organ in your lifetime than ever becoming a donor?
Think about that one. And then sign up to be a organ donor.
The tens of thousands of people waiting will be forever grateful.

(Thanks Jan.)

Happy Easter to All!

Got a bit of depressing news this evening-
The results of my latest bloodwork show my GFR has fallen to 8.
(Remember normal is > 60).

I have an appt. with my nephrologist first thing Monday.
I'll keep you posted.
