Hello everyone! It's been so long since I blogged. Life has been crazy this year. I went to see the nephrologist today. Remember? She is the kidney doctor and monitors the well being of my healthy kidney. She sent me for blood work on Monday (soo many vials it was like a bad vampire movie). I went to see her in person today and she told me that my kidney function is normal again!! I have been doing everything right for a year!!!! There are not enough exclamation points to express my feelings. I changed what I was eating, I stopped taking certain over the counter medications and I cut down on dark soda.
I don't have to see her twice a year anymore. I just have to see my regular doctor once a year for a blood test. However, with every sunset there must be a storm first. My parathyroid levels are three times too high so I need to get those removed soon. If not then my body will still continue to produce too much calcium and it will affect my kidney again. I have already called to schedule my surgery.
Why I am really posting is to thank everyone for all the support, kind words and encouragement. Hopefully everything continues to go well for us. I will update everyone on surgery date for my parathyroid.
Peace and Love!!
Patti
