> Jay what is Dad's status at this time? Going for Dialysis? Prayers on your way Sweetie. Love Phillipa
Well, his one kidney is shriveled up and just dead. He has 30 percent functioning in his other kidney. No dialysis yet. But, the past few days, his muscles in his legs have made it close to impossible for him to walk. Today is a bit better...thanks for all your prayers (everybody:)
He often has horrible nausea and acid in his stomach at night, but that has calmed down. The kidney doc said these symptoms are related to kidney disease. But, they come and go. The longer he can stay away from dialysis the better. I can't really talk much about the future, I'm sure you know what I mean. My Mom tries to joke around a bit with me, like saying "Oh...you'll still have me to boss you around..", and she means well, but I just fall to pieces even moreso.Thanks dear...
Jay
