Absolutely terrified!

Hi Kristina,
Thanks for the kind words.
I wasn't going to check back here until the new year.
I couldn't believe it today when my Doc's office called and said I have an appointment
with the Neph set up for this Friday!  (in 4 days)
How is that possible?
He said it would take months because my eGFR number was way too high to get in soon.
So now I don't have to wait forever to get the expert's opinion on this whole thing.
I was praying that would happen because I really want to know where I stand and if I should alter my diet right now or not.
I'll ask him to refer me to a Renal Dietician anyway.   Couldn't hurt.
Take care, and all the best in 2014!

I will be starting dialysis in a week or so It only took me a year to get from stage 4 to this point. I look at it this way 1. Its not cancer, it could be worse. 2. I am not a 10 year old sitting in a hospital room with a brain tumor. It could always be worse, so count the blessings that you do have. Get out of bed every day, pull your big boy pants on and be thankful that it is not worse!! That's how I handle it. Good Luck.
