Last week was the first week since last October that I haven't had to get my blood drawn.
That's pretty freaking awesome, and my veins are VERY happy.
This week, I'm off to Mayo again for my 24-hr urine check to see if there have been any changes because of the clinical trial. I have no idea how I'm going to do the collection on Wednesday, as I have 2 meetings scheduled right now. On the urine collection days I typically stay home...anyone that's ever done one of these knows that it's a huge pain, most of all because it has to stay cold. That's not exactly easy when the temperature is supposed to be near 100 degrees on Wednesday. Hopefully I'll figure it all out.
Even more so, I hope that something's changed on my labs. The last couple of weeks haven't been too bad...the swelling is tolerable. Even so, it'd be nice to see my protein level drop.

ReplyDeleteHey, I hope things have been going pretty well lately for you. I have not commented here in a while, but I felt like sharing something with you that I thought you might find interesting. Earlier this year, I helped create this infographic for National Kidney Month. It was something that I had wanted to share with anyone who I felt would be interested.
ReplyDeleteHey Stephen!
