And I do have something to crow about!   :clap;  Creatinine is 1.4 today!    :bandance; :bandance; :bandance;  Two weeks ago it had come down from 2.6 to 1.6, so today is another drop!!!   Prograf level is right on target at 6.9!   :bandance; :bandance;

I go back next week for a nephrostogram.  They will use the already made incision from the kidney drain, insert a tube, insert dye to get a better visual of what position the ureter is actually in, and then use that same tube to insert a "wire" and then the stent.   I forgot to ask, but I'm :pray; that will mean the end of this stinking, annoying drain bage!   I must say, it has done it's job - and well, but what an annoyance!  The tubing got hooked on the door handle the other day when I was walking by.  I thought I had ripped it out!  I was so angry!  But apparently we're all good.

If you can smile when things go wrong, you have someone in mind to blame.

Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance in the rain.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
