Got Kidneys?

Well, I went to my nephrologist today.

If things don't go well, I've got about 3 years with my kidneys before I have to do the dialysis thing.

If things go well it will be longer.

The good news: I'm a good candidate for a dual transplant, and I'm not the worst case he's seen. For the shape I'm in, I'm doing okay.

My kidneys aren't in failure yet. They are inching toward it. They just moved a few more inches than I'd thought they would have by now.

The dr. was optomistic.

I still blubbered like a baby when I hit the car.

So, Action Plan: Lose weight, get sugar & blood pressure under tight control. Not necessarily in that order.

You know, the idea of losing my vision hit me harder than this. Or maybe it was that I felt I was allowed the luxury of mourning my vision. I don't feel I have the luxury to wallow in that place this time.

So, How was your morning?
