We were told years ago that my Chronic Kidney Disease was Stage 1, so I thought everything was great. Turns out the parameters used to calculate were faulty and I am really at Stage 3 kidney failure. Also there is an narrowing of the tube going into the kidney, when/if it gets any worse I will have surgery on it. So that was not good news, BUT at least we know now what we are dealing with.
For years I have said some doctor has to know what is wrong with me and knew all these different things I have been going through were all connected. So finally knowing the truth about my kidney and some other issues gives us the power to do what is needed to keep me in Stage 3, or the middle of the road as the dr called it.
I have changed some meds around, will be having a surgery soon to remove some cysts and going back to Mayo in the summer and then for regular check ups or if any issues come up.
One night while we were up there, "Ron said, "I wish we could figure out how to get you up here once an year, so we know your really ok". The next day my kidney dr, who turned out to be the director of that department said, " Do you think you all could come up here once a year? I would really like to help you and take care of you." Ron and I just looked at each other and told him yes we were hoping for that. All I could think was THANK YOU GOD!!!
Constance was very concerned about me being gone to see Doctors. She ask me yesterday about my trip and what they did to me. I simply told her I saw special doctors that checked me out good and were gonna help me feel better.
Can't say I am not concerned but I have a peace about it. Also with finally having a grandbaby on the way I have even more of a reason to do everything that I can to stay as healthy as I can.
Thank you so much for all the prayers you have sent up and all those I know you have yet to say.
