Dear Reader,
This will be short and sweet tonight. It's almost 12:00 and my alarm is set for 7:30, my new wake-up time. I couldn't sleep last night because I got tense, so I only got 5 hours of sleep. I'll say, though that my husband's lesson this morning was really wonderful. It was about how do we pray about politics. I wish I had time to tell you about it.
So, I was at my mother's house this evening and was looking at her labs from 2012. The notes said that she had stage 3 chronic kidney disease, but her eGFR was 57, which I thought had her at stage 2. The lower your number the worse you are. You should be above 90, 15 is kidney failure. So, since I am at 45, that would mean that I was at stage 3, too! I did some more research and, apparently, the ranking system most used has five stages, and I am right on the border between stage 3a and stage 3b. I did a little poking around tonight at how to improve this. Mostly I found people who wanted to sell me something ... not a good sign. I also learned that I need to see a nephrologist, not a urologist, for this.
I'm off to try to sleep. Tomorrow is Monday! YEAH!!!! I'm on the Energy Bus! I'm driving my bus! And, yes, I am being completely sarcastic. But it's going to be Monday tomorrow whether I want it to be or not, so I might as well get on board.
Cheers!
Lisa
