One Day at a time here

One Day at a time here

hello everyone 😎

Was not sure where to write this

so, I have started a new thread

thank you @Oaktree , @Ru-bee for thinking of me today 😍

my results from the doctor was not really good

  • my Kidney function have decreased to 17%
  • my Liver and diabetes levels are up
  • I have Osteoporosis which i will need medication as my bone density has decreased because of the kidney disease
  • they believe that the Liver function is up because of the kidney disease
  • Kidney disease affects every part of your body
  • scan also shows the tinny of my kidney

Fingers crossed that the new meds suit @Shaz51

It's good you're on track re diabetes.

Re: One Day at a time here

yes @Dimity

he said the numbers are slightly down and he said we could do more insulin but see how it goes

how are you xx

Re: One Day at a time here

More insulin might get the numbers down further I guess.

I'm supposed to work on my weight and cholesterol.

I think I'll go do some errands, it's sunny

Hiya @Shaz51 @Dimity

more rain shaz, we had some last week. Not sure about this week I have been indoors 😜.

thats good about your diabetes specialist, how’s your kidney buddy going?

I am glad to hear mr shaz is a bit more relaxed today. Yeah I hear you that it’s likely going to happen again hopefully in time, be able to stop the complete dips and even though rough just a bit steadier than the really big lows, is this what you mean? Sorry if I got it wrong 😌.

How are you @Dimity 😊

Hi @Chasingsunsets I'm on the bus on the way home from errands. I guess it's good to have been out.

@Shaz51 it's hard waiting for the next cycle, I know with my family member to take things one day at a time. I worry about them but can't do much.

Nice one @Dimity, do you like the bus? I quite like the bus, good for people watching and getting around 😊

He has gone downhill tonight

@Chasingsunsets , @Dimity , @Jynx , @tyme

Re: One Day at a time here

Sending you strength @Shaz51 to ride it out. Hope he can sleep it off.

It's hard to say, but I hope you've thought about how you'd cope if he goes off again... eg does your town have bus or uber or taxi...

I wish my family member made contingency plans they'd share, they've had emergencies so often

In response to: Re: One Day at a time here

Re: One Day at a time here

Oh no @Shaz51 ,

Hope you are okay. It sounds so hard.
