The nephrologist is a jackass. He said he wanted to "check in" with me in a YEAR!!!
I said NO.
I told him I wanted him to repeat the ultrasound and check my GFR, and he agreed. I have the ultrasound Friday morning...
More to do this week

Wow.
It would be nice to have a doc paying better attention.
Good that you spoke up about what you want.

I am glad that you are having the ultra sound this friday to get it over with., am hoping that you will get results early next week.
I do not like him!

This doctor is a moron. Some of the things he has said to me are such bulls*** it's literally unbelievable. I am using him to get the tests I need run. I don't plan to continue seeing him.

If this ultrasound is negative, and what the radiologist saw on the last one is gone, I can put this issue to bed (fingers and toes crossed).
I'll probably get a look at the radiologist's report before I hear from the doctor... maybe Monday? IDK.


I planned on doing laundry today, but f*** that!!!
I've been run ragged all week and tomorrow is going to be a LONG day. I need to rest. The laundry can wait until Monday.
ALL I'm going to do today is get my coffee and play the lottery like I do every Thursday.

I managed to get my Christmas cards out yesterday, and have chipped away at my shopping list. I still have to get to the Yankee Candle outlet, and buy a couple more gift cards, and I'll be done.

I'm worried about money... I've spent an absolutely RIDICULOUS amount on copays in the last couple of weeks. So, I have to work out what I will buy when based on our cash flow.

Tomorrow I have a pdoc appointment at 8:30am, the ultrasound is at 10, and then I have to go grocery shopping. So, I won't be online.

Very Sorry about the Moronic doctor.

Good work getting lots of shopping accomplished Kay.

Have a good day, Friday.

The tech said my ultrasound looked the same as the last one, which is not good, and not what I had hoped for. It's not surprising, but still upsetting. I still have to wait for the radiologist's report tho. I should be able to view it on Monday.


My pdoc had raised my 300mg dose of gabapentin a while ago due to a manic episode. I'm on 400mg now and it's been getting sedating. But I've been stressed out, the holidays are coming up, and my s/s attempt was on the 23rd 3 yrs ago. So yesterday we decided to keep it at 400mg at least until I see her next month, unless I need to see her sooner.


My aunt texted me last night to tell me (somewhat graphically) that my half-sister's mother committed suicide, and could I please call my father to let him know. He was okay, having divorced her almost 50 years ago. I haven't talked to my half-sister in over a decade. but there is no animosity. I feel very badly for her and her half-sister


It's something that could seriously f*** with me. It doesn't take much where this topic is concerned. I'm glad that I didn't change my meds, and that my pdoc's office is open for another week.

anniversary's are hard.....
sorry about you having to tell your dad.
And she did not need to be graphic about it at all.
I am glad that you like your pdoc.
stay with us kay, we need you.
