Some good lab numbers from a physical!
For the first time in over two years, my GFR, a value indicating the kidneys' filtration rate, is approaching normal. Click directly on the graphic below to enlarge it:
I've been feeling so much better, and the numbers here show why.
This round of health hell, which began in September 2016, is over — at long last. So grateful for my wonderful urologist and surgeon, who turned around my terrible numbers so that I could avoid dialysis. The November 2016 surgery to remediate hydronephrosis was a resounding success!
Thank you for sharing this great news with us! Congrats!
