I thought we were done with things "surgery" related, and we basically are.
However, I completely forgot that she needed a follow up on her kidney issues from before the first surgery. ( I like forgetting about how bad things were actually :) )
So, she goes next Friday for her Nuclear Medicine Scan and another round of blood tests.
I'm hoping the kidney has repaired itself completely and she will be discharged from this doctor ! One less doctor in our list of many :D

I forgot about that too T! :eek2:

God I hope the scan shows all is AOK, Gabs has had to deal with enough to last a hundred lifetimes!

Sending mega loads of love, luck and well wishes!...:goodluck:

Are you going with her T? Sarah had one of those scans done, it's interesting watching the dye and the scanning. :)

Thanks Dusty :)
I went with her for the first one in June ? last year, but I didn't get to go back with her and watch :/
I'm actually not going with her this time. This will be the first appointment, ever, that I won't be! :eek2: JJ and I have decided to take a road trip up to Missouri for his Spring Break next week so I asked her if she could find a friend to tag along :)
I'm sure she'll do just fine. She has other appointments that day as well ~ bloods drawn again and she has to pick up some machine for her sleep study appointment coming up soon.
My how times have changed when I am "ok" and know that she can handle this, and she has no hesitations about me not being there ! :lol:

Har....dee...har..har!! Swing by here on the way T!! I'll hook you up with some moonshine and wacky-tobaccy! Ain't nothin' like moonshine and four-wheelin'!!
 
What a story, I just read from the beginning...wow, just wow.
I guess this is what V's doc fears when he speaks of undertreatment.

I'm very happy to read the ultimate outcome, though.
She is so lovely :smile:

Thank you Julie :)

That's exactly why I kept documenting everything...even my "crazy" "overreacting" moments; I knew in my heart it was going to be ok, and I wanted others to know it as well ! :)
