My kidneys are "the best they've been"



2 week old Black Russian Terrier puppies! They are 6 weeks old now and really cute, Three girls and a boy. Jo and Gene are really happy.

For those of you playing along at home you know that my kidney function has been less than perfect (shitty in fact for a couple of weeks) and this was/is because of the imunosuppressant that I take. But we lightened up on the IS about 4 weeks back and last Friday's call from Doc Schoozenbootz was good. Still making my own red cells, they are up a bit further. And he said my kidneys have improved alot. See quote in title above.

So I still have to get off the IS drug and hopefully won't get GVHD, which would be the chronic kind at this late stage. Doc says I have a 50/50 chance but I rekon that as I get lower and lower levels of IS drug then my odds have got to be increasing. Anyway We're going to Bribane to see him next friday Aug 3rd so will report .....

more later.
