I’m doing better by taking my anger out on politicians by writing to them and the local news in Austin. It’s made a small dent.
My Therapist doesn’t return from surgery for a week or two. Once she’s back I can start to process why two repressed memories came back, I’m hoping we can talk thru them in a couple of sessions, who knows.
I see my Nephrologist on the 19th, wow my birthday, and will know after labs if I’ve progressed to Stage 4 Kidney Disease. If I have progressed to Stage 4, I will start to close down all my sites as the time I have to live will be greatly reduced. I spend most of the day in bed because of symptoms from Kidney disease, I’m having trouble catching my breath and Fibro is raising its ugly head.
I have written several posts in my head and maybe tomorrow I’ll be able to publish at least one.
Thank you for being a big part of my life, the memories never end. Hugs!

I’ll know more in mid-Sept. and then after my blood work comes back I will know my GFR, which will tell me if my Kidney disease is worse. Thank you for your prayers, I need lots of those.

Thank you. I hope not to be moved to stage 4. Life will throw us things we can’t control. I keep the best attitude I can but my husband also has 2 types of cancer and so it’s hard to think about who will take care of him when I’m gone. God has a plan for my life and death. I’ve made peace with the 2-5 years I have left. If I get more time, it’s icing on the cake. :)

Kidney disease doesn’t mean death. There are treatment options. I know easier said then done about not stressing. Especially because you guys are already in a battle. Your good spirits and positive thinking keeps us healthier than we know.

You are right about that, I’m not in charge of my life on earth, God is and when he says it’s time, I’ll be ready. :)
