So I go to meet with Dr. Morris on Thursday at which time he says, "Oh shit. That is big". Really? Where is your poker face? He claims that I have fluid built up around the Kidney that needs to be drained. So, I schedule an appointment with radiology on Friday morning to have a tube placed in my belly and have a bag collecting fluid. The PA that was working me up stated that this "should" help the swelling, and it will remain in until it is done working. People who know me know that IS NOT the answer I wanted to hear. I plan. I like knowing what the hell is going on. I am awake during the procedure, but high as a kite, I mean I was asking questions and saying, "is that normal? should that fluid be so red? Is this working?" I know they had to be annoyed with me. The entire procedure last about 30 minutes and I was in recovery no longer then one hour after they began. I felt better and seeing fluid come in the bag did make me feel better. I was able to see progress. Tomorrow, Monday morning Aunt Kim and I have our 3 week follow up. If everything is ok with her, she is all done! Like done with this process... just will need to follow up with her local physicians. I am sure that my levels are still "adjusting". Like I have, and the only thing that keeps me going is that the Kidney continues to work very well, and all levels Kidney related are "wonderful".
I will check in when I have something new to report. So, since I get bloodwork tomorrow, I am sure something will be different or need to be looked at even further. Been kinda a bitch all weekend, little tiny pity party... I am sure in a few days I will be back to whatever the new normal is. My Mazel of the Week is going to Tena Hahn for bringing me 3 seasons of, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia". I will have a week of laughing! Can't wait!!
Keep it real everyone and be thankful for the little things in life... I am learning to do so....
