I went and seen Dr. B today and everything looks good except for my liquid intake. I am  getting almost 1/2 liters a day but dr. B said that is definitley not enough, It should be 1 1/2 liters a day! I just can't see how you can get all of that liquid down in a day! my stomach feels so bloated with the amount I am drinking! Well Dr. B sent me to the lab for a bunch of blood test to make sure I am not dehydrating and I am not sure what the other 5 tubes of blood were for. He is just being very causius because of my kidneys acting up on Oct. 29th. I really do like how he can keep up with his patients like that!

I came home on Friday, Dec.12th. I had some ups and downs in surgery, The worse experience I had was when I was coming to in the OR They were turning me on my side a couple of times to take Xrays. Let me tell you, that hurts like the devil even if you are not all the way awake yet! There was a complication with the surgery but we have to keep it confidential right now. When I can talk about it openly I will let yous know all about it. I can tell you this, Dr. Barker was great! He explained everything to my husband and brought him into the recovery room to talk to me. I could barely understand what was going on so I lefted all the decisions up to him. On Friday Dr. Barker, Dave and I sat down privately and talked about how things happened and why. I feel very comfortable. Now all I have to do is get rid of all this gas pain and discomfort!!! oh well all in due time.

Well here it is only 2 days away! I really hope this time everything will go right! I am all ready and very excited but there is just one small detail, I started to get a scratchy throat yesterday and today it is alittle worse! I am hoping by tomorrow it will go away, I don't know if they will do the surgery. I know if you have a cold they won't do it but what about a scratchy throat? Oh well all I can do is sit back and wait to see what happens.

I guess I should of updated this on Oct. 30th, when I came home from the hospital. On Oct. 29th I was already to be rolled in the Or, when my blood results showed that my  creightons were 3.5. This meant that my kidneys were hardly working! Well has you all can guess, NO SURGERY for me!  I did have to stay in the hospital and get a whole battery of tests, and be pumped with alot of fluids.  I am happy to say I am doing great now.  The disappointing part to this whole thing is, I have to wait for Dec. 10th to have surgery, and I have to do the two week slimfast diet all over again!  Hopefully my will power will be has strong as the last time and I can get through the two weeks.
