Updates!

 Last week I met with the nephrologist (kidney doctor).  My numbers while still not good are holding steady at the moment.   She said as long as I'm still feeling ok and numbers don't get horrible on some tests, our goal is still transplant first.  What this means is I don't have to start dialysis yet.   Honestly, I assumed I would be going in and begging to just push it off till spring break.  The training is 5 full days.

I was very happy with this news.    Overall I'm feeling pretty good for as bad as the kidneys are.  I'm always tired and there are days that I hurt some.   But I'm thankful- most days I don't feel to bad.  I will continue going weekly and getting my PD cath flushed.  We did figure out yesterday the tube is what is causing massive pain in my right side some days so I may end up having to go back to surgeon to have it checked.  We will see.

In other news- I purchased a car yesterday- I was able to put down the money from insurance and kept my payments very close to what I was already paying.   Hopefully the insurance check gets to the bank asap and pays off the old loan.  Bad news...car is not available for a few weeks, but I'm really excited.   

Thanks for following along in my journey.   Hoping it stays pretty steady for awhile!
