I ended up starting to cry soon before my husband finally finished his 3 hour eye appointment. I think he figured it since he picked up lunch before returning to the car. His eye looks horrible. The guy received a poorly administered eye injection. They had to keep him in the office for an extra 30 minutes afterwards because of it. I now feel bad for crying for myself. In any case, I'm glad it's done for the day. Neither Hubby nor I plan to do much until tomorrow.

I had been working myself up too much about my kidneys. They are far from doing great, but I admit to catastrophizing. I finally saw the results (not in front of the doctor) and all I could tell was that the creatinine level was in red font rather than black (normal) or blue (slightly elevated). I didn't understand the measurement system, as it is different from the US one. I had to google conversion calculators. After doing an apples to apples comparison, it appears that my creatinine level is worse than ever, but not frighteningly worse. I have some lifestyle changes that will be done, for sure. Fewer sweets, more water, a bit less protein, more exercise, smaller starchy carb portions, healthier fats, less salt, and almost no alcoholic beverages. Rare occasions only.
