Call me Grace : FSGS Sucks

I have no idea if I can attribute this in any way to my kidneys, my body failing me or my meds, but I'm blaming on something in that realm because...well...because I can.

Anyway, I'm out Sunday morning taking the dogs for their morning peepee.  I have to walk over to the model home since we still don't have grass and one of my dogs just doesn't pee in the dirt.  Anyway, I have no idea what or how it happened, but I completely just fell down.  I tried to brace myself with my wrists so luckily I didn't end up with asphalt face, but I did suffer some injuries.

And then, of course, I get up and look around to see if anyone saw me.  I mean, I fell down with some FORCE!  And I have no idea what happened.  All I know is that I'm gonna get some hella bruises with these here scrapes.

Oh, and my swelling is back.  Gained 10 pounds yesterday.  Compression stockings in full effect.

Yippee.

Medical technology at it's finest : FSGS Sucks

This actually isn't specific to kidney disease, but since diabetes is one of the main causes, I thought this was a pretty amazing article about an artificial pancreas.
