GETTING BETTER

This morning I had my appointment to remove the catheter. The Dr. wanted us to stop back in later to make sure the plumbing was working OK, so we went out for breakfast, and spent a little time at Glenbrook Mall, and I really enjoyed walking without the catheter. When we returned to the Dr.’s office, he wanted to measure my output, and it took me 5 minutes to empty my bladder from all the internal swelling! That’s not good, but he sent me home and gave me instructions on what to do over the weekend if we had more problems.

When I got home I tried again and this time had a normal flow. Go figure. I guess God no doubt had something to do with that. So, I guess its all getting better from here on. Tomorrow morning I’m planning on going to the men’s breakfast at church and speaking to the guys about lessons learned through this whole process. I’ve got one more week off to finish recuperating, and, if I feel up to it, Anita and I plan on a drive to Nashville, Tennessee, to visit our daughter and family. We won’t see them for Christmas, so this will be our time to spend time with the grandkids.

I really appreciate everyone’s support through this whole process. I’ve been receiving a couple of get well cards every day. You all are a real blessing. I pray I will soon be able to be a blessing back to you.

Thank God you are free of that cath and your plumbing is working. Now you can take the trip to Tenn. and enjoy time with your family. God is good!
I had that MRI done and had no problems with panic at all! Thank you Jesus!
Also i have gone for a 6 days now with out a panic attack.
The doctor called me yesterday and had me come in. The test showed the arteries to my kidneys were ok. but they found 3 cysts on my kidneys and one cyst on my liver. He said i may have polycystic disease. It is where cysts keep popping up in the kidneys and weaken their function and cause renal shutdown and need of dyalisis or kidney transplant in order to live. He was going to do a blood test to see if that is what it was but the test cost over $2000.00. There is no cure for the disease anyway so no need to take the test. So now i am facing another mountain but i prayed as i left the doctor’s office and put it in God’s hands. And believe it or not i feel at peace and feel no fear at all. God is soooooooooooooo! good.
