Kidney Issues, Take... I lost count of them
14 years ago
Long nothing new on the kidney front.
Issues were mostly solved last August, in November they got rid of the stents and everything seemed to be just fine. But then the left kidney decided to throw a fit. But this time, a really sneaky one. The blasted thing must have gotten inspiration from Gandhi for I don't feel any pains or other not so great symptoms that would hint at things being amiss here.
I just came home from an appointment and a little ordeal that involed needles and a catscan and I now know, the left kidney is (for reasons still unknown) pretty much dead. It functions to not more than a mere 20%, so the other kidney has to work overtime.
Despite the fact that I knew something was wrong and the results wouldn't be all awesome, I have to admit that the results hit harder than I imagined they would.
Next week my urologist is going to try and make some suggestions as of what to do next, but till then, there's this giant question mark haunting me.

Hope you will be fine soon!
