7:00 a.m., Saturday the 6th
I have gotten up early today as Brother-Husband, Snowbunny, and I have a road trip pending with Stan. Last night the three of us ate out for dinner (Black Angus), something that's always a happy occasion for me. After dinner we got ice cream at Baskin-Robbins.
Thank gods, all of the news from the doctor appointment was good news. The time before, my kidney function scored in the low 50's. That's not good. This time, it scored in the upper 60's. That's good. The doctor was relieved, and I was too. I'm taking medication to help my kidneys and apparently it's working. The doctor talked about getting off that medication in the future, but I am inclined to stay on it. The same goes for the Metformin I take, to lower my blood sugar. The doctor talked about getting off that in the future, but why get off it if it reduces the chances of me getting diabetes? That's my official medical opinion.
