I got back from the nephrologist a little while ago. It was a fairly thorough visit. I'm still waiting for more blood test results, but otherwise nothing is too worrisome, including the ultrasound. She said to skip meat one day per week, which is no problem at all since I've already been having vegetarian meals around three or four out of seven and only eat red meat maybe once (max twice) per week, if that. Also more water, as usual. She told Hubby that since I'm still "young" (I'm heading towards 51) that I really need to care for my kidneys well. What a bummer I have this hassle!

Tonight we finally see my husband's friend after years not. He's coming in from Prague to act in a play. As we're going to see that play tonight, we need to dress up a little. Dressing up in winter time is always miserable. All of my dresses are designed for warmer months. I'll wear a sweater with my one long skirt that fits, and brown tights. Plus, I had to find shoes that not only match my outfit, but are okay to walk in. We'll walk at least 2 kilometers, mostly on cobblestones. I can barely wear high heels anymore. If it's not strapped securely to my foot and "cozy", I can't stand it. I'd rather go barefoot than balance on some things women wear.
