back on my creatinine and GfR questions

"I've learned that this obsessive record keeping is really a coping mechanism"
Gee Moosemum, you are good...I keep a record of every figure that has ever been mentioned or taken. As well I keep a daily dialysis diary of my adventures...I call it 'Dialysis Days'...clever thinking, yes? I keep and accurate record of my 'bloods' and have learnt to assess them and adjust my diet accordingly...I asked a nurse to explain them and she did.
I still have to see my neph but that is every 3 months and I think you need to think for yourself and not rely on others.
The funny thing is...I was not like this before my illness, so I think you are correct to call it a 'coping' mechanism...great insight and thank you.
