Kidneys on toast

Some people like offal. I reckon its awful. some people like kidneys on toast.

My kidneys are toast. Maybe they are just lightly browned or maybe they aren't coloured up at all just slightly dried out.  They are still working and they are taking out out impurities but they are letting proteins go out as well and that's not good. So it has be decided that I much got to Doc Shoozenbootzen's "Kidney Guy" so far this guy has no name real or alias so I'm thinking Kidney Guy work for the time being.

They wanted me to go into hospital on Bluey's birthday to have some tests including a kidney biopsy so I'm guessing the involves being under general and having those hand grippy stick things stuck into my gas inflated abdomen, getting a snip off the kidney and they waiting for results. Doc S-B says three days. I've put a hold on that a bit and hope to get a consult with KidneyGuy before we go on this.

Doc S-B Thinks my Diabetes  my be the cause of all my leg issues. I've been getting good reading in the morning lately so not sure thats it. I did get a high 20 with my blood test at the last intragamm appointment but that was just after eating morning tea sop not sure that counts but the Doc is freaked.

So I'm on new blood pressure meds to try to reduce the leg swelling side effect. my be too early but I notice less night urination and the legs look better. My knee started hurting a bit last week but has improved and is the best its been in a long while so that med change may be working. I'm also using a TENS machine at home and ice packs to some good effect.

I'm pretty sure that we will find a mechanical solution when I finally get in to see the local arthropod. I shall not call him Leprechaun despite being irish named and short. I prefer Window. This is because his last name is a shortened version the cross bars that hold the glass in a multipaned window. Doc Window has so many people lined up to see him he can't get to me till August. I'm thinking this is because he can't operate on tonnes of folk in a week so why see them?  I'm on the waiting list to get in sooner. Next time I'm in big pain with the knee I'm drop in to see the appointments person and moan and groan in the waiting room and I bet I get a sooner appointment. Anyway Its all good today so no worries!

Sun is out, not to cold, but cool. Floydd has walked and is now surveying the valley from his perch on the deck. Bluey is still sleeping on this, the first day of Birthday Week.  I can't feel any pain in my knee (and it's actually bent a bit under the desk!). I'm about to go put the coffee on and start making waffles.
