It's been a while. I lost my kidneys Christmas; they went from 60% in September to 10% in December. Some say it was from diabetes or hypertension; some [me] even think it was from un-regulated use of a powerful diuretic for water gain; who knows. I had my arm surgically altered in January for a fistula to facilitate dialysis in March. From January to March, I lost 68 pounds on a rice and beans diet. Dialysis started in March; pneumonia arrived in June; my mother passes and I returned to the hospital.
Enough good news.
I have adjusted to a life divided into two or three day blocks; usually, we run out as soon as dialysis is over and gamble, or go to movies or whatever.
During the last month, I had my eyes fixed; cataracts were removed and I went from being severely near-sighted to being far-sighted. I can drive without glasses but need them to read. If you are thinking a out having this done, DO NOT go on line to watch a video of the surgery!
