The Little Kidneys That Could

Bleech! It is sure damp and cold outside this morning. I feel that I'll catch something just by looking outside the window too long. When you add to the mix that almost everyone I know is either a) sick or b) in the process of getting sick, it doesn't inspire confidence to leave the apartment.

And ugh, my refrigerator is getting empty. This is disturbing, for you can imagine the energy and wits necessary for me to go to the supermarket. You see, it's loaded with... sick people! Yeah, you know, they are so many of them. They are sneezing and coughing all other the place. It's like you need to have the strategic intelligence of a four-star general to plan your route in between the aisles, obtaining the items on your shopping list... and while avoiding these walking virus factories who are lurking behind every endcap.

Well, the kidney pain has subsided, and I'm still trying to determine exactly now much better my kidneys are functioning. Like I wrote last week, I went cold turkey on the water pills for two days, and I seemed to do okay, although I did gain some fluid. I'm in the process of determining my new dosage right now. There is some improvement, although I don't believe it's as significant as the improvement I had last month.
