Nice to hear from you, Diane P. First, since I don't truly have "kidney disease" as far as anyone has told me (just a problem with a "mystery something" blocking the tubes to the bladder), I am personally watching my diet according to the standard hospital literature for the disease (man, is it a lot and very limiting!). My appetite is indeed coming back, but I think I'm still down more than 35 lbs. compared to two months ago. I'm looking to split the difference, to get back into peak tennis condition :-) !
It's Tuesday, and my next visit to Dr. P. for labs and a look-over is Thursday. I had a bad day (just no energy) Sunday and a better day yesterday, until bedtime, when I felt there was/is something wrong on the right side... maybe the stent is somehow incorrect or something that's giving me pain when I urinate upward toward the right side. It is better this morning. I would never, ever have believed it would be so difficult jsut to get to talk with a specific expert in an area of health care in this country. I guess it really is all about money. Don't get me started!
