Today really sucked

[Greg a]

I am tired of being sick

Went to Renal failure clinic and found out my kidney function is down to 28%

THEN TONIGHT my grand daughters both called

 

[Penny]

oh no.. sorry to hear that Greg. What can the docs do for you? Nice to hear that your grand daughters called, seems like that put smile back on your face.. take care

 

[Wise]

Sorry to hear that your kidney function is down. I hope you improve quickly.

Greg,
This is certainly not the kind of news you want to hear. I am sorry to hear this. I am happy the granddaughters called. :wink2:

Best wishes,

I am with you on the tired of being sick ideology. I am glad you have those moments like the ones with your grandchildren to make it all worth the fight.

Greg so sorry to hear about your kidney. Take care of yourself and hope you will be ok.

Sighs heavily and with frustration that you are having to deal another health issue.

You are encouraging in your posts to others and I have seen that you have a sense of humour but when #^$@# happens, it can be harder to find the funny.

I will pass on tired cliches but will say..as one canadian to another... medical crap sure sucks eh?? !!

Now..how was that for eloquent ??

Glad you shared....grab the glad where and when you can. Sounds like grand daughters are a good place to start !!

There are serious kidney problems in my family so I understand where you are at...Do the best that you can to stay strong and healthy. In the meantime, share a giggle or two.

 

[Greg a]

Thank you all so much for your kind words the thing is that my understanding is that once the function is gone it is gone there really is not much to do but monitor it all and with the number of great doctors I have and the clinics I attend there is not a chance of it getting away from me the fact is thst I AM HERE TO FIGHT when three short years ago I was not given much hope ....my grand daughters I see almost daily and I have a new daughter in law so ....yes I was ticked off at the news but then counted my blessings that I have had in the past three years so for now it stands at 28% but no intervention will take place until 15% and as long as my ICD keeps zapping me

I'll be here to stick my tongue out

When we started seeing a nephrologist for my husband his function was at 27%, six months later it was up to nearly 50%. two weeks ago back down to 28%. His doctor explained that it will yo-yo when you are dealing with congestive heart failure.

I hope yours starts the upward trend soon!

MAY I ask how long you have been seeing a nephrologist
