Hello all!
As most of you know I have had kidney problems for more than twenty years. I never forgot about then as I go to the doctor once a month for blood work and a shot. I have been sooo lucky for so long that I had become rather complacent about my situation. I got the results from this month's blood work on Tuesday, August 25-I was shocked! My kidneys were crashing. I won't bore you with all the numbers as I am sure they would be meaningless to most of you.
I left for the Mayo Clinic (Jacksonville)to see what they could do for me. I got good news and bad news. First the good, there is help for my situation- steroids. I am headed back to Mayo on Monday to see another doctor to get this program started.The harm that has been done cannot be reversed but they are hoping to stabilize my creatine at least for a while. The bad news is I will be on dialysis some day, but not tomorrow- that is how the doctor has told me to look at it all. I have complete trust in Mayo and the doctors there. I know if there is anything that can be done they will do it.
Love to all of you
